Butterflies in the yard

Most of my flowers this year were destroyed by the hail storm of 4/27/11, or the repairmen that came to my house. I did have a few flowers and the butterflies are still coming around. I don't have near as many zinnia as I usually do because they were just beginning to come up when the roofers came. Then about the time a few more came up the gutter replacement happened. I just keep saying next year we will have our flowers back.

I am just glad some butterflies have decided to stop for a visit. Right now my Crepe Myrtles are helping too. Don't think I have ever noticed the butterflies on the Crepe Myrtles before this year, maybe they are 2nd choice to all my other blooms. And as you can see I still preferred to photograph the butterfly on the zinnia (one of the few I have).

Review and interview with Wendy

My friend, Wendy, at Wall to Wall Books has a review of Wendy's book (yep, same first name)and an interview with Wendy. Hope you will check it out. Wendy has her book (post below this one) download for $0.99 this weekend only. Downloads are normally $2.99. Her short story download is now free. Think it will remain that way, at least for a while.


Wendy has another blog I follow, It's Just Me.
Some of you might know Wendy from there.

And my daughter has a blog here, about being a writer.

Wendy's 1st book

My daughter, Wendy, has self published her first novel.
It is now available for ebooks.
The link for the Kindle is here.
The link for the Nook is here.

The printed copy should be available very soon on Amazon.

I bought my Nook edition today, but I have already read it twice.
My sister-in-law couldn't put it down, she read it in less than 24 hours.
