Surprise! My nest is no longer empty...


The Brown-Eyed Girl is coming for a visit and Darling Daughter is moving home to help out for a few months. I'm so excited to see both my girls--now if only Sonshine could make it home, but alas...

In other news--now that maybe the real baby birds have left the nest, Mama and Papa Cardinal have been flying and chirping all around my yard.

Mama cardinal at the birdbath.

Despite the warm temps it was a rather lovely day yesterday, so Rayna and I spent some time in the yard. Here she is stalking a squirrel...



...up on the power lines that run from one pole to another across the back end of our yard. Silly puppy!!



Hope you had a lovely weekend.

TGIF


Not much going on and work has been fine, but I'm definitely glad it's the weekend.


Hope to get a couple thousand words written this weekend on the latest WIP.

Have a great one!!

Podfic Update


At the beginning of the month, I talked here about the podfic I'd created. As a refresher, podfic is basically like an audio book, only it's fan fiction being read and not a "real" published book.

Well, reveals were finally made and my recipient--the author of the fic I read/turned into podfic--seemed quite pleased with my efforts and had many complimentary things to say about the end product. He or she also wants to link it to the original written version housed at a major fic archive.

Needless to say, I'M VERY CHUFFED at the response and can't wait to visit the fic page and actually see the link.

So, while I still don't have much time at the moment to learn the software, I definitely want to try my hand (or mouth??) at this again.

Rest in Peace





The world lost Anton Yelchin over the weekend in a freak car accident.

Hot Fun in the Summertime


Not much going on, really...just reading, writing, and watching TV. But my vincas that grew up out of the patio last year are back!






I'd transplanted them from the cracks in the patio squares to a planter and they (obviously) are growing and blooming again.

Also, the mimosa tree is in beautiful bloom:





Have a great weekend.
