Did You Know

 Did you know that over five-thousand wild horses, of Spanish decent, used to roam the coast of North Carolina? Now only two hundred and twenty remain. The Colonial Spanish Mustang  is the state horse.

Tuesday Stuff

So... 

I woke Sunday morning to find Izzy had made an uninvited visit, bringing with her snow, sleet, ice and rain. I knew we were in trouble when Frank wouldn't step a paw outside. You're probably thinking, "So? He's a cat."  He is, but weather doesn't phase him. It can be snowing or raining, and like the mailman, he'll still be outside making his rounds.  Here's Frank this time last year.

 

Needless, to say when he wasn't having any of it, it made me a tad bit nervous.

Monday.  

We missed a bullet and didn't suffer any power loss. 

Frank ventured out Monday.

 Earlier In the Week...

I received a package I had to sign for and I had to be twenty-one. What the? And it was heavy. Needless to say my curiosity was aroused. Had someone sent me garden rocks for my birthday?And if so, why did I have to be twenty-one to open a box of rocks? So I signed, took the package and opened it just enough to see the piece of paper sticking out. It had a Happy Birthday (Yes, I had a birthday between last Friday and today:) message from my daughter and  son-in-law and three items all called Zen something. Ah, garden statuary. My curiosity aroused, I decided I didn't really need to wait till my birthday to open it. 

No rocks. No statuary, but definitely welcome:) Thanks M and J:)

Since I can't offer you any leftover birthday cake, have a free download (if you are in the U.S. or the U.K.--I think). I would love it if the free downloads and countdowns were offered in Australia and Germany. Sigh. Hopefully one of these days.

Available at Amazon.
 

 

 AND 

Here's the earworm I've had since last (Writerly) Wednesday:) I go dancing around the house like a crazy lady--or writer;)

 AND

Wishing you delicious cake, beautiful birds and flowers, and fun earworms to dance to:)

This Weekend's Read: SANGUISUGE Book Five

 

Excerpt -“Young Jacob, sometimes forgiveness is for the best.”

Jacob turned toward Donall. “And sometimes, Lord Valsamis, enemies are dressed as allies.”

Donall glanced curiously at Jacob.

I sighed.

Donall laughed. “Speaking of stories… Did your sister tell you of her appetite?”

I chuckled, realizing Donall was trying to lighten the mood.

Jacob glanced at me curiously. “No, I haven’t heard this story.”

“She can out-feed a fledgling.”

Jacob was wide-eyed as he turned his attention to me.

I blushed as I nodded.

“You most certainly are not feeding enough if this is true.”

I chuckled. “I have drained a few pitchers.”

Jacob left abruptly and then returned holding a tray of five pitchers. Donall burst out into laughter.

Mom brought my plate and studied Jacob. “A little hungry, Jacob?”

I giggled.

“I was just going to challenge Trinity.”

“Oh, uh honey, I’m not sure that is a good idea.”

“Why?”

“Finn told me how Ethan tried the same thing.”

“Lord Valsamis just told me.”

“He told you that Trinity drank most of the seven pitchers that were set before her?”

Jacob shook his head. His expression was one of defeat. He took a pitcher and set it down on the table in front of him and then set the tray in front of me. Donall and Mom laughed.

 

 

Blurb- A feud that reaches its boiling point. A war that seems inevitable! Lurking behind the scenes, malicious plots are progressing unbeknownst to everyone!  Will Trinity be able to go against fate to prevent a pointless bloodbath and protect the lives of her family?

 

Trinity is one of very few characters that can both drink blood and eat food. (Mostly meats.)

Fledgling vampires require the most blood to survive, but Trinity has consumed more than one!

Donall once drained an entire herd of cattle!

WRITERLY WEDNESDAY

 What's your go-to word for: 

Mine's: Crackerjack :)

Anybody else see OVERBOARD with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell? I always think of that movie when I hear the song Jim-Dandy or see the word.

It's Tuesday

 Flowers, Critters and Empty Shelves.

The Christmas roses (hellebores) are blooming.

 

This particular Iris is always confused about blooming time and thinks January is just a fine month to bloom in. This year I wised up and brought the buds inside when the weather turned cold. I don't know if all the buds will bloom out but at least this guy did.

What do you do with your clippings from bushes? Sometimes I stick them in the ground to see if they'll take root, sometimes I bring in the cuttings and stick them in a vase and other times they end up on the compost or trash pile.

Yes, I know my shoes have holes in them, but they are soooo comfortable:)

 

 

We went grocery shopping yesterday.  These were shelves for cat food and produce. Plenty of toilet paper though:)

 

 

And last but not least, Happy Birthday to the Birthday Girls.

 

 

 Got birthdays? Critters? Flowers? Groceries?
