A Bee on Zinnia

Jun13

The bee was so busy, he didn’t budge even though I was right on top of him, taking the photo. 🙂

They keep saying we need to walk and engage in various exercises so that we can heal faster. But it’s hard when you have no energy. However, I walked this morning. The rains had cooled it down a bit, and yesterday it rained all day, so I couldn’t walk. But I got to see the green heron again. I tried taking a couple of pictures of him from a distance with my phone. I hope one turns out.

Additionally, I captured the moon’s reflection in the pond and took pictures of mushrooms that had appeared due to the rain, making the walk an amazing adventure.

Hope your day goes great!!!

Zinnia–Melon Color

Jun21

Zinnia can take the heat. I love how they bloom and bloom through fall and all this heat.

I’m editing Wolf Bound again, adding a dedication, synopsis, ISBNs, Acknowledgements. I still need to finish the book, but I know you’ve heard this before, it’s getting closer to being done. Woohoo!

Have a super fun day!

Yellow and Green Zinnia

Jun7

I loved this zinnia with the yellow and green flower petals. Isn’t it pretty?

I’m hoping some of the other seeds I planted are as unusual.

I’m off to work! More hot, hot, hot days! Even my car AC has a struggle cooling the car down.

Have a delightful day!

Golden Zinnia

May25

I don’t think I ever had one that color before. It’s so pretty. The butterflies and bees love them.

Swim day at the pool was so much fun yesterday. My grandson loves the water and was really swimming (with floaties) across the width of the pool over and over again. My granddaughter swims like a fish now, so it was lots easier to take care of both of them by myself. We had a ball so we’ll be going swimming every day that I have them. The water was even warm because of our 100 degree days.

Amazingly, after such a wild day, I actually managed to write 4,000 words on Wolf Bound. Only 4,000 left to go for my minimum word goal. We had a busy morning today and tomorrow for hours, so we’ll see how it goes.

Hope you have a wild and wonderful day!

Monarch Butterfly on Zinnia

Jan11

Coming soon to a flower near me.

I ordered a bunch of different kinds of zinnia seeds. I love them because they’re so colorful and long lasting through winter, but also the butterflies and bees love them too. One year when my granddaughter was little, I carried her around the zinnia garden and pointed out all the colors to her to teach her colors. That year I had planted tons of them in the backyard, not just the front so I could enjoy seeing all the different kinds of butterflies flitting from one to another.

Well, I’m off to work on Bear in Mind. I finally reached 50K. Shooting for 70K.

I coughed a lot last night, but Max wasn’t sick so I was able to sleep somewhat better!

Hope your day makes you feel at the top of the world!

Green Zinnia Flower

Jun1

My daughter has some of these in her garden and she gave some of the seeds to me. So I need to plant them! I just loved this unusual color.

I’ve walked, fed the birds, the dogs, took pictures of flowers before the sun is too intense, and now it’s time to write!

Have a fun-filled day!

A Butterfly on Zinnia

Jul19

Playing around with textures and cropping the photo at different closeness. I thought it was cool in the really close picture that you can see the pollen on the butterfly.

Yesterday, I had fun with the kids from the morning through lunch and still managed to get 3,000 words. Yay! That all has to do with doing some research and coming up with a fun side trip in the story. I have to start taking little one two days a week starting tomorrow, two weeks early, so I’ll miss my word count that day. Hope to make up for it by writing more today. I was torn–weed, which I desperately need to do, or just write.

Tomorrow, it’s supposed to be a little cooler. Maybe I’ll weed this week instead. See how easy it is to put off the inevitable?

I did walk today anyway!

Have a great day and stay safe!

Hummingbird

Sep15

I finished edits on Night of the Billionaire Wolf and turned it in. Yay! Now I’m back to Red Wolf Christmas. It’s due in 2 weeks and I’m still working on it. It would be all right if I had it finished and was just editing it, but…it’s not finished. ugh.

This morning I moved a scene to a couple of chapters earlier. Which changes things for the next about 3 chapters. The butterfly effect. I haven’t figured out the ending, or what ties everything together yet. sigh. It’s got to come soon!

Okay, I’m off to work on it and hope your day is beautifully orchestrated.

Giant Swallowtail

Sep14
on a Giant Zinnia

Their wings flap so fast constantly that I never know if I’ve just gotten a blur or something nice and clear.

I’m off to proof another 160 pages of Night of the Billionaire Wolf. Need to get this turned in so I can get back to Red Wolf Christmas.

Another sizzler for three more days and then the temps will be around 91 for a high, yay!

Have a super fun day!!!

Skipper Butterfly

Aug29

My what big eyes you have!

So I finished proofing Legend of the White Wolf and now am proofing

White Wolf to the Rescue: A Legend of the White Wolf Novella. The first editor question: What happened to the woman who helped the two PI partners escape? One of them, David Davis, was hooked on her, but I haven’t written his story yet.

Well, it was years and years and years before I was able to write another white wolf book. Years. Which meant tons and tons of books!!! I write between 5-8 books a year. When I finally wrote the next white wolf book (you have to know I always thought the series would peter out, the boss would say no more, so I just had never had time to do something with that sub-series), it was a long, long time ago. Ten years ago that I had read the book. As many books that I have to write, I didn’t have time to reread the whole book. Poor Elizabeth was forgotten. In one of the subsequent books, I made a mention of her returning to her pack, but I can’t remember which one. *sigh*

What happened to Elizabeth? I will have to make something more up. See? That’s the fun of being a writer. I can tell a story and it doesn’t have to be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Well, for them, in all honesty, it is the truth.

I’m off and running, got to finish proofing the novella and jump on Red Wolf Christmas again before something else waylays me. Hope you have a beautiful day!!!
