Thunderstorms and flowers

All because I opened my mouth on my blog (is that how it works?), the Universe decided to get revenge on me last night. I had just put Merlin in his crate, zipping up on the opposite side so he couldn’t figure out how to unzip it (grin!), and got settled in for the night … Continue reading Thunderstorms and flowers

Choices will be made

Well, last night’s and this morning’s plan would have worked really well if the Universe hadn’t conspired against me. Still, I didn’t let it hold me back. Last night, I had just put Merlin in his crate for the night and went to shut the window behind his crate when Prancer decided it was time … Continue reading Choices will be made

Rising

I got back to doing audio this morning. Plus, I did some sketching. One must wonder if the earth quaked when I did that. (grin) I’m going to try a new pattern in my days. We’ll see how it works, at least through the summer. I might have to adjust in the winter due to … Continue reading Rising

The story will be

I’m going to try to write my blog outside tonight. Chances are good that Merlin will start barking or the bugs will discover me unarmed out here and I’ll have to finish it inside, but we’ll see what happens. I’m into the last chapter (or two) of Arlyn’s story. (Well, there goes Merlin thanks to … Continue reading The story will be

Resuming

A quick post because I’m taking a short break from writing Arlyn’s story. I started my day out — even though I told myself I should do this — with doing some more bookkeeping. Now that I knew what I needed to do on most of my Excel queries, I was anxious to get it … Continue reading Resuming

Jerome Farmers’ Market

I started a new adventure today: a farmers’ market. I’ve never committed to such a venture before though I’ve thought about it. It’s the weekly commitment which made me leery. Honestly, I’m still there with those emotions. With the difficulty this week has been, I probably shouldn’t have come out today, but here I am. … Continue reading Jerome Farmers’ Market

Garden planted

A whirlwind afternoon and not exactly the grand adventure I had planned when I got up this morning. But still a good day. My son called me just after noon and asked if I wanted him and his girlfriend to come help plant the garden. Problem was that I had the car scheduled for an … Continue reading Garden planted

Should have been instead

I should have been writing. Instead, I watched part of a painting video. I should have been taking down the doorway gate and putting that into the doorframe of my writing office and resetting all the other gates. Instead, I watched part of a painting video and played with Merlin. I should have been doing … Continue reading Should have been instead

The horse is running away

I feel like I fell off the horse and it’s galloping as fast as it can while I sit on the ground wondering what happened. Part of it is my own fault. I let Prancer sleep inside last night and Coville wasn’t happy about it since they were both trying to share the bed with … Continue reading The horse is running away

Another day down

It’s been another long day, but the extended weekend plans are done. I’m sunburnt, wounded from splinters and other various activities, and tired, but I did have a good time with family. I’d almost be afraid to know how sunburnt I’d be if I hadn’t been wearing sunscreen. I’d certainly been more wounded if I … Continue reading Another day down
