The Lady-in-Red walk, now fully in bloom. We were in lockdown at the time I would normally visit the plant stores for bedding plants. This tender perennial seeds itself everywhere and I had tons of it so that’s what… https://t.co/8badpMH5lv

The blooming mallow is taking over the walkway but it’s so pretty I’m not going to cut it back until after it finishes blooming. It’s not really supposed to be there at all. Bird-dropped seeds I guess but the roots… https://t.co/EVkSAYtC28

Writing distractions... Feral hogs visited again last night, rooting up large sections of lawn. Will have to go rake uprooted grass and dislodged dirt back into place; mowing over the humps and craters they leave… https://t.co/zpLz1nBP3e

A new day, a new story. All possibilities open. Just have to figure them out. #amwriting #dawn https://t.co/OTPbS77rWf

Yellow garden Part II. Coreopsis succeeded by Black-eyed Susans. Later, the self-seeding Lady in Red salvia will take over, turning the late summer/fall garden into a mosaic of crimson and green. #summergarden… https://t.co/mEs1oTCUQT

Successive plantings in the black-eyed pea patch. Hoping for a late-summer bonanza of peas and cornbread! Are you growing any of your favorites this summer? #summergarden #homegrown #writerslife https://t.co/PKor6uSPir

This has been my favorite rose this summer. Brilliant brick to ruby red petals with a glowing golden center and wonderful old-rose scent. Brightens my spirits as I continue to slog thru the mss. What gives you a… https://t.co/Mc0rDCKrKx

That moment when you have to stop writing and do research before you can finish the scene... followed by hours lost down the rabbit hole of research to put together six pages you hope are accurate—and that your… https://t.co/I3pW6hyo0n

I’m thinking about hats today. Gardening is my thinking time, sometimes WIP plotting time. But my old gardening hat has a jagged tear at the top (thank you, rose bush) that lets spiders fall in when I’m crawling… https://t.co/GnQhdkSdDX

The first pepper of the summer. Mostly staying home allows for some good things, like finally getting the garden weeded and growing veggies. Do you have a summer hobby that fits well into these crazy times?… https://t.co/9t2ROYKvwH

The arrival of the real,actual physical book of that story you spent months dreaming about in your head is always exciting! Now to mail ARCs—though most are e-books these days, especially in the Age of Virus.… https://t.co/03ec687XeD

First tomato on the plant in the mint bed. Maybe the mint will keep bugs away long enough for tomatoes to ripen. What keeps you occupied on summer mornings? #gardensofinstagram #goodvegfood #amwriting #keepyourspiritsup https://t.co/Nr8ErKp4uU

My birthday present to me...a new miniature rose for the garden—with the Rosemary Bush on Steroids (from a 4” pot it’s grown to 5’ by 5’) in the background. Just looking at the bright little blooms cheers me up. What… https://t.co/sHOmjwOneN

A coleus hiding behind the strands of Mexican feather grass and coreopsis blooms. Reminds me of where I am in almost-middle of current story, trying to tease scenes and characters to come into clearer focus.… https://t.co/rApZOK0x6x

[Julia Justiss @juliajustiss]

What cheers me... halting writing on wip to do some research, specifically on cultural activities in London in 1834. The book on art collecting is one of my newest resources. History nerd bliss. #amwriting… https://t.co/WzHQLmE2e8
