  • Just when the caterpillar thought her life was over…

    Another pretty blue sky, hot day. Tomorrow, September 22, is the first day of fall. Today was summertime, hot and humid, not a hint of fall at my house. I sat perched in the swing till the sweat rolled down my back watching a fat hummingbird feeding on my pink rose bush. Came in the…

  • My eyes rest on a pile of folded quilts…

    I love this quote from E.M. Forster. “What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives?” I fill my days with all of God’s colors and creations. I sit in the swing this morning watching the songbirds enjoying the feeders and…

  • Just living is not enough…

    Sat in the swing this morning, reading all the remarks about the column I wrote about my daughter. Thank you so much for reading my words and many thanks for your caring and compassionate remarks about Rosalyn. It’s hot today. Sat in the swing eating raw peanuts and drinking a Coke this afternoon watching the…

  • Life will eventually take away things we love…

    I’m looking at a perfectly beautiful morning from my slice of porch heaven. Looking up I see a cerulean blue sky filled with bleached white fluffy clouds. Warm sunshine is beaming down almost blinding in its brightness. It’s summertime hot. Mother Nature and Father Sky painted a wondrous sky today putting a smile on all…

  • Be an oak tree for God…

    Penelope had to go see vet brother this morning. She turned into a goose last night when the clock struck 12, waking me with the cough of a croupy baby. Kept us awake till daylight. This dog loves vet brother and his staff. She pranced in the office honking like a Canadian goose all excited…

  • Our heartsongs bring us together…

    Another day with a cloudless fall blue sky, sketched by Father Sky’s sapphire pastels. The blue was as pretty as a tropical ocean. Ezekiel’s scripture says God’s throne is sapphire blue. “And above the expanse over their heads there was the appearance of a sapphire, in the form of a throne.” Perhaps in these glorious…

  • Stop worrying about the pot holes…

    My dearest friend and I are riding back home to Alabama from Georgia this morning under a clean pale blue sky, cloudless and bright. Nothing to mar our view except for the tree sap on the windshield and the condensation of our happy contented sighs. We’re on the last leg of our first adventure celebrating…

  • “Love you I said to the world…”

    “Love you,” I said to the world this morning, blessed with another glorious day. My view this morning is dark blue sky, cloudless as far as I can see, dotted with a dozen vultures riding the wind current’s circular stairway. The yellow sulphur butterflies are dancing around the yard and the raspberry finches are fighting…

  • “He will catch you or teach you how to fly…”

    Beautiful blue sky, yellow sunshine on this day on planet Earth. “I see the moon and the moon sees me!” Mr. Moon has been staying up late the past few days. While walking Penelope each morning, I’ve been catching him awake, his luminously handsome self hung high in the deep blue sky. I wonder if…

  • Appreciate every nuance of your life’s journey…

    Never seen a more beautiful day. Been trying all morning to think of the best way to describe today and not having much luck with the correct adjectives. Everything is clean and bright, luminous and clear, sky’s dark blue, the clouds white as snow. The birds are frolicking around the feeders and bird baths. The…
