Should I Do Rewrites? Or Should I Look At Pretty Flowers?





Rewrites can wait.

I went yesterday to the St. James Church Goshen Garden tour with my friend Pam, and we had a wonderful time. There were many beautiful private gardens to explore, and a fabulous lunch to devour.

I didn't take any pictures of the lunch, but that was because I was way too hungry to admire it visually (although it was a very pretty buffet with an exceptionally pretty buffet dessert table).

I love flowers and I want to take good pictures of them. It took me a long time to realize that if I take pictures of short flowers, I end up showing more dirt than flower. So I now limit myself to big tall flowers, beautiful landscape. and the occasional chair.

This picture of red flowers and white fence is my brand new screen saver, and it's a very summery way for my computer to say hello to me.














And look. Scooter loves flowers too, just as long as they're upholstered!

LOL! I love the ones of Scooter (who wouldn't)and the big pink flower. All in all the pictures are very pretty. You know how much of a fan I am, so I'm going to say this [or write it. I'm not going into technicalities (I think that's how you spell it, if not, I tried)]. I was at Wal-Mart and I was in the book aisle and I saw the LAWKI series. I looked over them rather carefully and I noticed something was out of place. I looked at the titles and noticed that they had them in the wrong order. Twilight was right next to it and it was in order, so I removed all the LAWKI books and put them into order (LAWKI, D&G, TWWLI).

Scooter is so cute! And the flowers are beautiful.
A coinicental moment, and I swear I'm not making this up, it's so weird. Before I left for vacation, I was out biking while my mom worked, and all of a sudden it got really cloudy. Soon after that I was looking around and suddenly I tripped and fell in a pothole. My hands and knees got all scraped up. I remembered Miranda. Very coincidental. :)

P.s. LOL Sunshine! :D

Courtney,

LOL! U know about what happened when I was in the food department at Wal-Mart right? It's in the post called Catch Up, and you obviously read this entry. LOL! It seems like we keep having the LAWKI and/or Miranda moments. And shall I write (I got into technicalities there) they are rather fun!

Hi Sunshine and Courtney-

I've gone to the local Wal-Mart a couple of times to check on my books, and at least once, I did some major tidying. I doubt the store minded.

And I'm always happy to be associated with potholes!

OMG, it would be so cool to see you at Wal-Mart next to your books!! Seriously, it would make my day. It would be like meeting a celebrity (well, you are a celebrity in my book). I would HAVE to take pictures on my phone. Immagine what Wal-Mart must feel having the actual author of a book they carry, tidy up her books. That would be super cool!

You should go to the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina, if you haven't already been there.

From your blog absence the last two days, I hope this means you're doing your rewrites now that you've had your flower fun. :) I hope so.

Now I need to get someone to crack the whip on me. I have a murder mystery languishing from lack of rewrites and a dystopian novel that needs to be finished. And a historical fiction novel that needs tweaking, too. But the weeds in my flower garden are calling to me...

Hi to Glen and WandaV-

I don't remember ever going to the Biltmore Estate, so my guess is I haven't. Thank you for the suggestion, Glen.

If I had to choose between weeding and rewrites...well, I'll get back to you on that, WandaV!
