Ate breakfast on the porch and pondered the meaning of life. No, I did not. Just kidding. I wondered why my yard was so quiet. There was no bird symphony playing. No wind chimes singing. Cardinals, downy wood peckers, chickadees, wrens, and wood thrushes were scurrying around and eating at the feeders. I saw the…

Such a pretty afternoon with the rain clouds gathering and the setting sun beaming through the dark clouds. Thundering now. Love to sit on the porch when it rains. Slept upstairs last night in the guest room. So comfortable with the window air conditioners on in the rooms up there. Gonna bite the bullet and…

Beautiful Mother’s Day! Blue sky, fluffy clouds and just enough wind to add wind chime music to the bird song symphony. My faithful cardinals and all their friends are visiting the feeders. Oldest brother dropped by and told me he’s still got a few squirrels to kill. Last time he shot one he left his…

I have been running around today “cray cray,” which is worse than crazy. Went off with youngest sister-in-law this morning. You remember her from a former blog where I described her shoe trying on technique. She stands on one leg and tries on shoes. Doesn’t even have to hold on to the display and can…

Went to visit the grandchildren on Thursday. Spent the night so I could attend the boys’ band concerts. Amazing how much better the children play after a year’s instruction. Learning to play a musical instrument is amazing and so much fun. I drove up Thursday around lunch. The sky was blue and pretty. Saw some…

*Went to the grandsons band concerts last night and spent the night with them. Somehow I messed up the blog post. Re-publishing one of my favorites. I’ll be back on track tomorrow! Debit cards are a marvelous thing as long as you remember your security code number and don’t get hacked! I have 2 separate…

*Enjoyed time with the grandchildren tonight. The boys had their band concerts. So proud of them and Handley, too. Reposting my debit card story. Still makes me laugh! Debit cards are a marvelous thing as long as you remember your security code number and don’t get hacked! I have 2 separate cards and yes I…

Another beautiful day in so many ways. Ate my breakfast on the porch and watched the wood thrushes hop and skip around the yard. They are handsome birds, regal in their carriage, enjoying the freshly cut lawn. Haven’t seen the grosbeak flock today. Maybe they’ll be dusk visitors. Hope they haven’t gone further south yet.…

Such a pretty morning. I ate my breakfast bagel and cantaloupe in the swing pondering on birds and all the old houses on my street. The sky was full of pale puffy gray rain clouds and the sunshine finally broke through and left the beautiful blue sky of coming summer. After lunch the clouds darkened…

Been studying the clouds this morning. Trying to learn to identify clouds. The sky is filled with puffy white clouds now and some are gathering rain drops. Blue sky is peeking through around the edges. The clouds are moving fast and stretching out. They are a soft gray color, the color of spring rain clouds,…
