  • We’re rooted in faith and family

    Back in the swing with my bagel this morning. Penelope is on snake patrol if she can stay awake. That dog sleeps her life away. Wish I could record the bird symphony today. So loud and pretty. Sounds like happiness. Claude Monet said, “I would like to paint the way a bird sings.” That’s my…

  • Family music brings harmony

    Today I’m waking up to a different view out my window. The sky is denim blue. God hasn’t rubbed his white pastels across his sky canvas. The sun is bright and clear and warm. I hear a bird symphony out the double doors. I’m ensconced on a tall antique bed. Had to have a little…

  • “The greatest gift of life is friendship!”

    Today is my 67th birthday and I’m having the best time with my best friend. I’m spending the night with her in Alexander City. We hit the high dollar thrift stores on the lake this morning and ate out for lunch and she cooked a delicious supper and we had birthday cake. She has a…

  • A snake!

    Beautiful blue sky today which turned into beautiful cloudy sky by afternoon. When the sun peeked out of the clouds at different times it was really hot. I noticed my face and feet have a sun tan from sitting in the swing. I call it my bird watching tan. The clouds are beginning to fill…

  • I’m so funny and full of jokes

    Today has a beautiful baby blue sky. The Lord scratched his white pastel stick across the sky canvas in a few places and drew some long slender clouds. Mother Nature added a every now and then cool breeze. My yard is absolutely full of goldfinches and cardinals. Their symphony is so pretty and relaxing. No…

  • Memories matter

    Today was another day of deer watching. Ashley and I ate breakfast watching a small heard of seven deer leisurely walking down a path through the woods behind their house. Their dog Magnolia just sat on the top step of their back porch and watched the parade with us. The sky is gray and cloudy.…

  • It’s the journey along the way

    Drove to Fayetteville today to visit my grandchildren for a few days. Just when I drove up their driveway the sun burst through the clouds. Needed that sunshine after the scary storms last night. I see pretty blue sky and white bleached clouds. I can hear birds singing but haven’t seen any yet. Handley is…

  • Life is better when you laugh!

    Did not sit on the porch today till mid afternoon. Would have washed away like the pollen during the early morning storms. Mother Nature was really showing off with her lightning bolt and thunder skills. She waked me with her lightning bolts. Looked outside this morning and a few cardinals were happily eating from the…

  • Shark attacks happen in shallow water!

    Sat on the porch last night after supper. Was enjoying watching a flock of eight male cardinals and their mates on the feeders. These cardinals always come at dusk and feed till almost dark. I think the goldfinches incessant noisy chattering gets on their nerves. They visit the feeders with the goldfinches during the daytime…

  • The smallest act of caring

    Beautiful day today! The sun is as bright and warm as a mid summer day. Little cotton puffs of clouds are moving quickly through the light blue sky. The wind is conducting a wind chime symphony. Penelope is sleeping in the sunshine, on her back, legs in the air. We haven’t seen our chubby little…
