Dinner and a thunderstorm

I cut a brilliant yellow squash from my garden and chopped it up with some zucchini for dinner tonight. Those slices are about 3 inches wide. I cut the larger ones in half. I thought about adding in some onion, but didn’t. Merlin loves cooked squash (and baby carrots) and I thought I’d share some … Continue reading Dinner and a thunderstorm

Wrestling rosebushes

I fired up my little chainsaw this morning and started chopping down some of the nuisance trees around my property today. Since then, it’s been hard to hold my left arm up. Yeah, it’s a little stressed. Probably doesn’t help that I did some weed whacking too. But it does look so much better now. … Continue reading Wrestling rosebushes

Aerie

I am nearly finished with the last book in Mercedes Lackey’s Joust series, Aerie. I can’t help the feeling that she had intended on building up to another book or two in the series. It’ll be interesting to see how it ends and how she wraps it up. I’ll be sad if there are several … Continue reading Aerie

A little bit of everything

As I said in yesterday’s post, i planned on doing a little bit of writing, publishing, painting, and recording today (as well as some weeding of my garden) in order to assist my reset to get started with my schedule again. Most of it got done. I started by doing the weeding while it was … Continue reading A little bit of everything

Last day of Twin Falls Art in the Park

Today was busier and certainly felt hotter. I’m at home now resting and hydrating. I had fun meeting new people and talking to other artists (both participating in the show and those coming to look around the park) and talk to them about their processes. It makes me want to get back to it myself. … Continue reading Last day of Twin Falls Art in the Park

Fishtail

It was the first day of the Twin Falls Art in the Park. I had to be there early, as I said yesterday, to start my setup. We finished with only a few minutes to spare before the start of the show. It was then that my son’s girlfriend took a moment to braid my … Continue reading Fishtail

Twin Falls Art in the Park

Today has not gone as planned, but I’m hoping that bodes well for tomorrow. I’m late in getting started with my final preparations for Art in the Park tomorrow and there are some things that just won’t get done. At least not today. But I’ve gotten a lot of other things done, things that could … Continue reading Twin Falls Art in the Park

Kickstarter done!

I got out the two final stories which were stretch goals for my Stonecharmer Kickstarter campaign. Ring of Stars also went out to my Patreon backers at the Loki Love and Everything levels. It feels really good to have that done. I probably shouldn’t have painted this evening, but I did before getting to work … Continue reading Kickstarter done!

Ah, pets

Dragon has finally finished translating all the dictation I did while on my drive to Washington and since then. Most of it is a journal of my thoughts and I’m excited to read through it. But there’s the start of the next Fenrir’s Tales story. There’s also a section for my Siva story. Coville, pictured … Continue reading Ah, pets
