I was supposed to be in VA visiting my BFF and her family this weekend, but my husband and son got sick. My daughter has been struggling with her mental health and I knew it would be hard for her to have our plans cancelled and sitting at home. So, we made a quick new plan, and we are in OH where she is visiting her BFF's from college. I am sitting in a rental apartment while she is out having the time of her life, LOL. I am reading, blogging, and trying to relax. She goes back to college in about 7 weeks and I know this time is good for her.
Hi Cindy, I'm sorry to hear your plans for the weekend changed. I hope your husband and son are feeling better soon. What a nice treat for your daughter. I'm sure she's having a good time with her BFF. It sounds like you're having a good time too! Thanks for visiting. Have a safe trip home.
HI Jill, that is a really lovely video. The bird is adorable. I've had a busy week and now I am waiting for information from my client and taking advantage to catch up on private emails.
Hi Robbie, I'm happy you enjoyed the video. I love to share these beautiful creatures especially to those who don't have the opportunity to see them. I think your weeks are always busy. I don't know how you do it all. I appreciate you stopping by to say hello.
Thanks for your response. I am on Instagram although not as much as FB. However, I'm thinking about transitioning there instead of FB--and also starting up my blog again. There are other, better options for photographers/artists, so I'm trying to make up my mind. But I do agree about the one-stop shop. In the meantime I'm happy to catch up with you on your newsletter.
Hi Jill, Adorable video of the hummingbird. Yay! And Donald cracks me up. What am I up to? I started a new job at a Brewery! It's great fun. I'm a microbiologist whose been working in academic research labs for 20 years, so this is a whole new world to me. Three cheers for beer and birds!
Hi Sara! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, Donald is entertaining to have around. Congrats on the new job! I'm sure it's much different than your academic research but it's good to switch things up. It great to meet you! Thanks for stopping by.
I'm happy to hear you love hummies too, Deborah! Donald is the sweetest. She brightens our day. Wishing you all the best with your appointments. I appreciate you reading Searching for Home. I hope you're enjoying it. Thanks for stopping by!
Such a precious hummie video! Thanks for sharing photos of Donald and your beautiful flowers. I appreciate you staying in touch with us all during this busy summer. May you find a bit of time to relax with your puzzle. 🌸♥️🌸
Thank you very much, Sherida! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the hummie. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos from the hike. Take care of yourself! xo
Hi Jill...miss you on FB. I always love your hummers and flowers. Slow going with my novel but I'm at 57,000 words on the first draft... a long journey ahead but I'm not in a hurry. I still enjoy adventures with friends and taking/processing photos. A beautiful journal but I don't want to be in the drawing. Just stopping by to say hello.
Aw…thanks for your kind message, Roslyn. I appreciate it. Life was making it difficult to keep up with social media, so something had to give. I felt guilty not having the time to respond to messages on FB. I much prefer a one stop shop to chat with my friends. I’m glad you stop by to visit.
I miss your gorgeous photos. Are you on Instagram? That’s where I’ll go to chill out and look at all of the beautiful photographs.
Now, your novel…wow! That’s great news! You’re making wonderful progress. Yes, writing is a journey and one you should enjoy, so go at your own pace.
Thanks for visiting today! Keep me posted on things.
Love your posts, Jill. They're always upbeat and uplifting. I would have offered to read the backlist but--I already read them! Now, about the next book...
Donald would be very happy! Lovely flowers. I have had two trips to the Canada Rocky Mountains this summer so far, and still lots of summer left, so am happy!
Donald loved all of the rain! Thank you, Lynn. I know you’re happy! I’m happy too because I’ve enjoyed some of your gorgeous photos. I’m glad you’re having a great summer. Thanks for visiting today!
As for what I've been up to, I am working on two freelance projects that are coming to a close. Wrote draft 6 of a picture book for an educational publisher. I'm worldbuilding for a YA fantasy series.
Wish you could ship us some of that rain. We are so hot and dry that dragging the water hose around is an every day event here. But for the critters and plants it's a chore well worth the results.
Hi Jill - that little hummingbird is amazingly delicate. I have become fascinated with birds and love to watch them!
I know! Some of our hummies are so tiny. I love their little feet! It is fun to watch the birds. Enjoy!

Good ol' Donald!!!
She just makes you smile, Irene!
You live in such a beautiful setting!
Thank you, Liz! We are blessed. And the hummies like it too!
You're welcome, Jill!

Hope all goes well for you. Good summer plans?
Thank you for your sweet comment, Jacqui. I’m happy you enjoy my posts/newsletter. This format of public or private messages is great.
I appreciate you reading all of my books! My next book has been stuck in NY for months. I might have to join your team!
I hope you’re enjoying your new puppy. I’m sure he’s keeping you busy.
Looking forward to your next book! Thanks for visiting.
Donald would be very happy! Lovely flowers. I have had two trips to the Canada Rocky Mountains this summer so far, and still lots of summer left, so am happy!

Thank you, Linda! It sounds like you’re busy as usual. Good luck with your projects! I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and say hello.
Glad to! 😊
Been visiting children and grandchildren in different states. 🍀❣️‼️
It sounds like you’re having a wonderful summer, Kay. Thanks for stopping by to say hi.

I wish I could too, Kay. Watering daily is a chore, but as you said, it so worth it. I hope you and Dale are doing well. Thanks for popping by today!
