I ate the first eggplant from my garden today. My smoke detector was not happy about me baking the eggplant with olive oil and decided to go off. I happened to be holding Temmy at the time. Unlike Merlin, who goes hiding from loud noises, Temmy doesn't get scared. I carried her with me and … Continue reading Eggplants and invisible smoke
I've been trying to get yardwork done in the mornings this week. Both front and back yards have gotten out of control. This morning I finished the front yard. In the evening yesterday, I made headway in the back yard while I was watering the garden. I did have to stop to capture a few … Continue reading Schedule – a decision to be made
My newest read might not be my cup of tea, meaning that I don't think it' something I'm going to finish. So, I finished Aerie, the 4th book in the Joust series by Mercedes Lackey. In my opinion, the book feels very forced and contrived. I didn't feel that it fit with the rest of … Continue reading Not my cup of tea
Today marks one year of me writing a post every single day. Some days I've come close to missing, but I've made it. 365 posts. 1 year. Every day. Keeping a daily blog is a lot of work. I've been asking myself the last couple of days if I want to continue after I crossed … Continue reading 365 Days
Merlin says hi! We spent a bit of time outside in the shade this afternoon. He was thrilled. He wanted to bark at everyone. I was giving him treats to keep him quiet and trying to get him to be a good boy while I was writing. I didn't get much writing done. What I … Continue reading Treat time
I'm tired today, and worse is that I've been going through today as if it were Sunday. Yep, I have to repeatedly remind myself that it's Saturday. It's so bad that I closed out the writing week on my board today and started a new one. That means that tomorrow, I have to erase what … Continue reading No, it’s not Sunday
The rain was supposed to come today along with thunder. I felt a few drops while I was outside this evening and heard thunder in the distance, but it's been clear. Temmy has been very playful today and knocked things over. She must be louder than the thunder. She's also been very vocal. She's taken … Continue reading All for the quiet
I had a moment to paint this evening. I thought I’d show a couple pictures of paintings I’m working on. 4”x4” acrylic on wrapped canvas I’m going to have to look at this one under my studio lights to see if I’m really finished with this one or if I still have work to do, … Continue reading Blue Forest
Some days I wish I could be better. Some days I have strange wins. A win is a win, no matter how oddly it comes, so I will take it. Some days I wish I wouldn’t say stupid things and could keep my mouth shut. Some days I wonder what I’m doing, living, why am … Continue reading Every day
I promised some photos from the zoo. Do you know whose tongue that is in the photo above? Is it an ape? Here’s me hanging with a gorilla. Is it a lion? Here’s me hanging with a lion. Okay, aside from crawling through a tunnel too, I did more than hang out at the kids’ … Continue reading Zoo pictures
