My weather here is supposed to be quite rainy here today. (100% chance, according to my phone.) “Heavy rain warning. Rainy conditions will continue all day.”

Earthwise Windows

Nevertheless, it’s really nice now, so I have my windows open and am enjoying the breezes. Everything is getting aired out after having a long space when I’ve had to have everything closed, so my spirits are lifting as the breezes blow through. I’ll keep a watchful eye on things so I can leap up and close everything up, if needed.

I received my new puzzle yesterday afternoon! Woo Hoo!

I’m just starting to try to put the border together. With the snafu on the previous puzzle order, it’s been a while since I got to work on a puzzle, so it’s good to be able to dive in again. I just love this chameleon!

Here are my latest painted sketches –

I saw a plant whose leaves looked like elephant heads to me, so I did this sketch.

“Elephant plant” – MY name for it. I don’t know what the real name is.

This little guy is dressed up in his new cowboy gear.

I’ll do water bottle exercises this afternoon. I’ll also practice my guitar chords (and croaking, aka singing), read some more of my book, see if I can get a start on my puzzle, and more.

Happy Day!

A Good Read

“Sawyer Reed is heading home after rambling for seven years after the Civil War ended. His family’s cattle ranch is waiting, and he is ready to get to work. On his way home from Mexico, Sawyer runs into a mysterious woman who will change his life and his future forever.
Josephine Alverez is a chef at a posh restaurant in San Antonio, Texas in the year 2020. She is off for a weekend of fun when she is sucked into a miniature blue twister. Jo is thrown back in time to 1872. A man saves her life after she is nearly murdered, and Jo must come to grips and adapt to this new world. It is the wild west and she has fallen into an old fashion western.”

My husband recommended this book to me, and loaned it to me on my Kindle when I finished reading the last book in the In Death Series, # 51, Shadows in Death by J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts.)

This is a very intriguing time travel story. The characters were well drawn. When I finished the book, I was a bit sad because I would have liked it to continue.

I recommend this book. I will look for other books by S.A. Ison.

If you read it, please let me know what you think.
