If you’ve been meaning to read this series, here’s your opportunity to read the first one free. And just in time before the 4th book in the series comes out. … Continue reading Kobo readers

Painting over

I am finally back on my evening routine. I’ve been close for several weeks, but the accident and illness set me back a bit. I had to reset all of it again. This weekend I started on two new paintings. Continued working on them tonight. One is a nebula painting. I’ve been resisting it being … Continue reading Painting over

Sunday harvest

I can’t believe it’s Sunday already. Or that it’s July. This morning, I harvested some lavender and the one strawberry before some other animal came along and got it. I don’t know if the squirrels have been eating them or my cat, Bella. Someone’s been getting to the strawberries before me. So today, I got … Continue reading Sunday harvest

Back at market

I was out at the farmers’ market this morning and it was a beautiful day. Just perfect, at least until the wind came up a bit too much. I wasn’t sure I should have been out there when we first got there. My hand was having such painful time trying to set up and it’s … Continue reading Back at market

When the firetrucks came

Well, I thought I was going to get through the 4th of July unscathed. As I was settling in to read for the night, there was a bang and then shrapnel hit my windows. I checked and everything was okay, so I returned to reading. Then, I was just about asleep when there was another … Continue reading When the firetrucks came

Holiday mind

It’s the 4th of July, Independence Day, here in the States. I really think Merlin is losing his hearing — he is almost 13 after all, just about a week or so away by my guess — because he hasn’t been reacting as badly to all the noise as he normally does. Oh, the fireworks … Continue reading Holiday mind

Books, books, bookkeeping

Writing fast tonight because I’ve been doing bookkeeping this evening. I did try to paint earlier, but then dinner was ready and I never got back to it. Instead, I decided that I wanted to get my books caught up so I wouldn’t be thinking about it over the holiday. I’m on a long weekend … Continue reading Books, books, bookkeeping

When you need a new phone

I received my phone case the other day for the phone I purchased after my previous one was broken in the bike accident. I don’t know what I was expecting, but I’m very pleased with the quality of the case. Plus, it has my new Loki symbol on it. Check out the phone case here: … Continue reading When you need a new phone

Upcoming releases

Loki has had his time to play, and now Fenrir wants to join in. But first, he’s got to get some schooling. Or, maybe he’s just curious. Time for some training out on the playground. High school is a hard four years for most people. Some can never leave it behind, especially if they’re looking … Continue reading Upcoming releases

Only well enough

Made a bit of a mess on my website today. I’ve been tinkering with an idea and I wanted to see if it would work. Hence, mess. It was about all I felt up to today. I did a few other little things, but have found myself really unable to concentrate on anything I really … Continue reading Only well enough
