Tuesday
One of those titmice flew on the porch again. This time with Frank in hot pursuit. I got the cat in and the bird out. Slow learner? I think so.
AND...
Pictures from the garden. As you can see in the first pic, the weeds are alive and well.
This is the inside of the above Iris.

Our Christmas Amaryllis decided to celebrate Easter instead and opened up Easter morning.
I got a giggle out of this and thought you might too:) Thanks for sharing, Tony.

Friday's Good Read...Whoops It's Wednesday
Today's my cover release so I'm borrowing the Wacky Writerly Wednesday slot.
Blurb:
A modern day, shape-shifting sheriff.
He’s the sheriff of a sparsely populated county in Montana. His blood brother and childhood best friend is Chief of Police on the Blackfoot Reservation, but they no longer speak. His deputy is a Southern transplant with the body of a high-priced call girl, a voice of honey and a mouth of a trucker. And if that’s not enough, he’s got a secret that would stun those that know him best. Other than that, it’s business as usual for Sheriff Mateo Grey.

If you can help me get the word out by a cover or book release on your blog or other media just shoot me an email in the newsletter sign up on the right. Thanks!

Tuesday
More Irises
AND...
We scored toilet paper and hand sanitizer last week, but it involved getting up at five a.m. Senior hour is from six to seven Tuesdays at Walmart this month. Given the hour we didn't expect many people to be there. Wrong. Let's just say there's no shortage of seniors in our area.
AND...
Every few weeks a bird flies through the cat door onto the porch. Most of the time we just prop open the door and within minutes they fly out. Friday not one but two came visiting. Luckily Frank and Penny (the dog) were in the house. Faux was on the porch but she's blind and lumbers around like an ancient elephant. Since she'll be nineteen on her next birthday I guess she's entitled. Come to think of it, I've never seen Faux chase a bird, but I'm off topic.
These two were definitely bird brains. They looked like titmice but I could be mistaken. I don't know how many times they tried to fly through the screen, ignoring the door. Finally, they figured how to get out. I went out a little later and the birds were all a twitter. The two escapees were probably busy sharing their harrowing tale and preening about how brave they were.
AND...
For the front liners, stay-at-homers, glove and mask wearers, here's a free read (in U.S. and U.K.)

Got masks? TP? Are your Irises blooming? Are there memory stones in your garden?
AND...
Do you ever make memory stones for your garden? I order name plates then glue them to bricks. Since I had the angel kitties I added them to the stones.
