Today was all kinds of weather days wrapped up in one day. Cool, rainy, cloudy, windy, sunny, warm, misty, clear. Guess Mother Nature was getting all her ducks in a row to spin her roulette wheel in the direction of winter for the next few nights. The grass is getting greener every day. Gonna need…

Walked Penelope before breakfast this morning. Beautiful sky, looked like God took his white pastel stick and dragged it a few times across his blue sky canvas. The wind was a little nippy but Mother Nature cranked up the sun and the day turned out perfect. Ever waked up and immediately smiled knowing the day…

Ate breakfast in the lady den this morning. Finally got some strawberries and a cantaloupe that taste pretty good. Was just a little too cool to breakfast on the porch. Oldest brother came over mid morning and I gave him some Big Boy tomato seeds. He was excited. We tried to find Big Boy plants…

Sat down in the swing this morning to eat my breakfast and a cloud of yellow pollen floated up in the air. Never seen a spring with this much pollen. Maybe the rain will wash some away. The sky is solid gray…a dreary day. While I was eating breakfast, before the ran started, I saw…

Had a busy day, today. Took Penelope to vet brother first thing this morning. She had some kind of allergic reaction last night right before bed time. She went on a scratching and itching attack and broke out in hives. Never seen anything like this. She scratched and turned upside down the rug to scratch…

Sat on the porch this morning in the swing and ate my breakfast. Another beautiful day. Been trying to describe the clouds. The edges of them are dusted with grey, getting ready for the rainy days ahead. Lots of cardinals, nine pair I can count. There were nine pair on the feeders at dusk last…

The singing birds outside my bathroom window were my happiness alarm today. They woke me with their bamboo branch symphony. I am hooked on the word symphony. Never thought about all the sounds in my yard being a symphony but now that’s all I hear. I can’t help relating the sounds to instruments in an…

Beautiful day on the porch. I’m sitting in the swing and pondering. Penelope is taking a siesta in her playpen. God always sends us a pretty day after a stormy day. I love these bright blue skies and cloroxed clouds. My yard is such a pretty shade of green. Took three days to go from…

My southern yard symphony is playing again today. The wind is wrestling the leaves about. The wind chimes are not blowing in the wind, just quietly tingling in time with the drip, drip, drip of the rain gutters. The drips are the drum beats of the symphony. When my trash can blows over it’s like…

Sat on the porch swing this morning and ate my breakfast of Tastykake powdered donuts. Love these donuts ‘cause FOUR of them are considered one serving, so you don’t have to feel piggish when you eat four of them. Oldest sister-in-law had invited me to go thrifting so I had to forgo my bagel and…
