Walked Penelope early morning and took note of all the colors in the marbled sky, grays and white and hints of turquoise and purple. These little colorful hues come and go so fast if you’re not watching you miss them. You don’t think about beauty in an overcast sky but look and you’ll see Mother…

Porch pondered in the swing today between chores. Been cloudy much of the day, overcast cloud covers like melted vanilla ice cream in a beautiful bowl with purples and blues and cigar smoke gray swirled in by a sterling silver spoon. I love to stare at an overcast sky and look for colors. When the…

Pondering in the porch swing today. It’s warmer outside than in my house. The sky is overcast in melted vanilla ice cream, swirled with blues and cigar smoke grays. The sun is doing her best to peek through the cloud covers. I’m watching eight pair of cardinals on the bird feeders. The squirrels are scampering…

Walking Penelope this morning in a beautiful English cathedral of stained glass leaves. The sun’s golden rays are shining directly through the maple trees, lighting the trees’ gloriously watercolored leaves. Brings back memories from my college trip to England, the breath taking beauty of their cathedrals’ stained glass windows. My water oak is showing out,…

Did not do any porch pondering or porch swing perching today. I have actually done chores most of the day. Getting ready for my children coming home for our McMurray Thanksgiving dinner. When my family and my three brothers and their families gather there’s over forty of us celebrating together. We have such a good…

Sitting in the swing making notes for tonight’s writing. Oldest brother is picking me up shortly to go to his granddaughter’s birthday party. Hard to believe that beautiful sweet baby is celebrating her 12th birthday. The day is so pretty, blue sky dotted with cotton boll clouds, warm sunshine. Looks like a birthday party day.…

Porch perched and pondered this morning watching the finches and cardinals flitting around enjoying the bird feeders. I have a new critter in my yard, not sure what it is, maybe a deer. My youngest son watched a deer lick the seeds from a feeder late at night several weeks ago but this critter is…

The sun feels so good this early morning. I’m walking Penelope down the sidewalk, cool in the shade of the old oaks but when I step from the shade to the sun, instantly I feel the wonderful warmth of the golden rays. God did well when he gifted us the yellow sun, hung high in…

Enjoyed the day perched in the porch swing watching the handsome cardinals on the bird feeders. The males bright red coats contrast so beautifully with the fawn brown, light orange fall sweaters of their meek mates. I’m watching a pair of the cardinals riding a carnival ride on a dead purple polk salad branch swinging…

The overcast sky is so beautiful right before dusk. Father Sky has layered his folded clouds in grays and purples and vanillas, so pretty and fluffy looking, each cloud resting on top of another. When it came time for the pageant of sunset, Mother Nature only had a small window of blue sky canvas to…
