New and Fading

Apr1

Gerbera Daisy. I love these daisies because they have such a large flower. This is the only one that has made it though. I had a lovely Jaguar one–orange, and a beautiful yellow one, but neither came back. This one has been here for about 3 years. I need to plant some more of them in that spot.

Have both grands today. Little one is coming. Bigger one stayed overnight. We were putting together “Wish” legos. She wouldn’t let me help and so I went back to working on revamping some book covers and then she’s hollering at me for not sitting next to her. But if she won’t let me play, I have fun work to do. lol So this is one of the covers. I’m working on The Deadly Fae and The Ancient Fae.

Okay, got to run and get some things done before little one is here and they’re squabbling over things. Little one has had a cold, and it looks like it’s starting to run through the family. Ugh.

Have a super lovely non-squabbling day!

Happy Easter!

Mar31

Easter Egg coloring with grandkids, then off to do our annual Easter egg hunt. But of course, first, I’m out planting more flowers.

Hope your day is delightful!

No Rabbits or Eggs, but…

Mar30

Planting lots of flowers. I wore myself out moving 500 lbs of dirt for the planting beds yesterday, but was still digging up ferns and moving them, and planted 2 salvia plants, a miniature rose, daylilies, an iris.

The daylilies always look so dead that I planted out back. I hope they come out okay. The ones out front are beautiful, but I planted them every year for years and they’re filling in nicely. I love them because like their name, flowers pop out daily spring, summer and fall.

This was the fuchsia miniature rosebush that I planted. Above it is crepe myrtle of the same color. If I had room, I would plant the fuchsia salvia in the same area. It’s always pretty when you can have a group of plants with the same color, unifying that part of the garden.

Off to pilates torture and then celebrating my granddaughter’s birthday. Then it’s back to working on the garden. I need to plant a lavender, pink/peach miniature rosebush, and the fuchsia salvia. I have some teddy bear sunflowers seeds I want to put in also. 🙂 <3

Have a fun-filled day!!!

Garden Cart Painted and Ready to Use

Mar29

I think next is the bistro set. It’s black and all rusty. I picked up some blue paint and primer also for rusty furniture. So I believe I’ll begin on that next.

I just finished proofing Huntress for Hire, yay! I seriously need to plant some of my plants. I found 2 miniature rosebushes, both that I adore. I need to plant several daylily bulbs that give me constant flowery color, 3 salvia plants, and lots of seeds. I’m going to try some floral ground covers. Maybe THEY will block out the weeds. I need to do something. lol They are perennials, but are coming from an online seed shop.

Okay, I’m off to send Huntress to my beta readers and then begin all my gardening stuff.

Have a super duper day!

Spring, Flowers, Butterflies?

Mar28

What can be more magical than that?

For my friends in the snowy north, take heart. When your spring comes and you’re showing off all your flowers, we’ll be sweating it out in the heat, trying to keep everything alive. 🙂

Have a beautiful day!

Juggling Manuscripts

Mar27

One of my lovely fans asked when my next book would be out. I finished Huntress Unleashed, but was giving myself some time to look at it with a fresh mind before I proofed it and sent it to my beta readers. It really helps to do that–to set aside a manuscript and then reread it as if I hadn’t ever read it before. So I started doing that last night. Once I’m done, I’ll send it off and then get back to the Highland story. I need another 29K words on it. I haven’t put out a Highland story in years, so I really wanted to get this done also. And yes, it does have a mystical, paranormal side to it.

And then??? Not sure. A shifter or a fae or elf book? I even had a request for another Magic of Inherian book.

Little one will be here today, so we are going to the grocery store as my fridge is again bare. And we’ll do more gardening. It’s 49 degrees today, so it really got chilly for us. So we might wait on doing some gardening. I’ve decided I’m a warm weather gardener. 🙂

Have a super lovely day!

Patch of Salvia

Mar24

Tiny purple blooms are just starting to appear. This is the biggest, most widespread it’s been. I love them because they come back every year. And they have fairy like flowers and the butterflies love them!

Off to pilates. I’d hurt my back 5 weeks ago, so haven’t been doing it. I’m going to feel it!

Have a beautiful day!

Planting the Seeds of Beauty

Mar20

The HOA had planted these black-eyed susans last year, mixed with marigolds, saliva, and other lovely flowers. I had to stop and take some pictures. They were beautiful. I put out perennial seeds this year that hopefully will make my flowerbed look just as pretty. My salvia are in full strength this year. I can’t wait to see them flower.

Last night, my son-in-law dropped off 10 very sad looking tomato plants and I can’t let them die. I managed to find spots for 3 of them, but I’m still working on making room for 7 more. I’ve tried some out front and they never survived. And out back, it’s hard to find spot that they have enough sun and water. Sooooo, I’m working on putting together another flowerbed, but I don’t think they will last that long. Today, little one and I will put them out somewhere! We both love tomatoes!

In the meantime, I was working on The Highlander’s Nymph of the Woods, a full length novel I wrote about 20 years ago that has had a myriad of changes. I’m making more changes. I like the mystery of the original, but it means the heroine has no voice, literally. So I wanted to show more of the story before she meets up with the hero. I love the story though and I hope it won’t take me another 20 years to revise it.

I’m off to work on it some more before my grandson arrives. We will probably be planting tomato plants together and maybe weeding some. He loves to help. He pulls off the tops of the good grass while I’m pulling up the weeds.

Have a super hump day!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Mar17

The 4-leaf clover is actually a photo of one of the 4-leaf-clovers I’ve found in my backyard. I’ve only found one other in the backyard. Now my granddaughter is trying to find one. Good luck with that. I had to keep looking at this one to make sure it really, truly had 4 leaves.

I’m off to write. I have only one more scene to go on Huntress Unleashed. But I need to edit it a few more times also. I always edit as I go along because I change my mind about things, or I forget I mentioned something I want to write further on. Then after all those edits, it will be time to proof it.

We were supposed to get rain all day, now, we’re not, so I’ll be outside painting and planting.

We’re having corned beef, potatoes, carrots, and cabbage for dinner tonight for St. Patrick’s Day. It’s time to celebrate! Well, actually every day is time to celebrate.

Have the best of luck today and all year long!

Volunteer Sunflower in Hanging Basket

Mar16

This hanging basket has a flowering plant in it–don’t remember the kind, but it survived the winter and is just barely greening up. But in the meantime, birds dropped two sunflower seeds in the basket, and voila, one of them just bloomed. 🙂

Okay, with that fun and exciting news, I’m back to Huntress for Hire. I ended up dreaming I was a vampire, and I could shift into a wolf. I was howling for my lost daughter. That’s what I get for writing about vampires and shifters.

We had 3 1/2 inches of rain yesterday, severe thunderstorms knocking out my electricity and internet for a short while. We have more tonight and tomorrow, and the temperature dropped, which is welcome. Chives are coming up. Planted daylilies and bell pepper seeds (from the grocery store peppers I cooked in the spaghetti for lunch yesterday), and planted caladiums also.

But for now, I’m back to the book! Hope your day is going great!
