HAPPY MONDAY NEW RELEASE DAY & HAPPY MAY!!! APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERS & I have alll sorts of beautiful hibiscus in bloom! I wonder why I didn’t just stick with a ton of those from my front yard landscaping? 4 years here, each year I started anew with various tropical plants but the sun just BAKES the life out of everything here, and my flowering… “whatevers” never made it. Or at least, not enough to ever flower again after bringing it home from the nursery. Except my big beautiful orange-peach hibiscus plant that’s almost as tall as my house right now! It thrived.
And so this year, I bought four more varieties, and the front of my house is just beautiful!! I’m thrilled & lesson learned. Stick with what I know. 😉
P.S. Not only do we have some early bird book releases today, but the AMAZON FIRST READS FOR MAY are up for us to choose from!!! And it’s TWO books because a Bonus Short Read is included and it sounds goooooood!!!
Three things:
1.) It finally rained, and rained hard after a few weeks of drought!! Can you imagine? I buy new sod, new plants for our landscaping and within a week of that, NO rain. For weeks. Having to go out and hand water everything every few days, ’cause no rain = lots of hardcore sun. My poor plants. But… they prevailed! And the rain is back. 😀 So the whole “April showers bring May flowers” was a lie. LOL!! There were no April showers. 😒😏😂
2.) It’s a beautiful day day outside right now!! In the 70s and and will only be in the low 80s today, and since it’s my day off, I think I will take advantage of some outside fun. Gardening it is! LOL!!
3.) Guess what I’m watching essentially for the first time ’cause now I get to marathon watch to might heart’s content!! OUTLANDER!!!
Okay now… time for BOOKS THAT JUST WENT LIVE!!!
