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…

Another cool fall day with glorious yellow sunshine and deep blue sky. Warmed up enough for me to do some porch swing perching and bird watching this afternoon. Filled the bird feeders up rolling around in the yard on my carpet of acorns. Fatty has a lot of acorns to stash away. I washed the…

Drove home from Peachtree City this morning under a glorious fall sky. When I rode the through Rock Mills a line of fall brown sweet gum leaves blowing across the street were traveling like ducklings following behind their mother. I slowed down and watched the duckling leaves make their way to the other side of…

You could not ask for a prettier day than this morning, dark azure sky crisscrossed with bright white jet contrails turning into huge feather clouds before dissipating. Intermittent cool breezes pinging the wind chimes, making their tintinnabulations into a yard symphony. The feeders are full of birds, enjoying sunflower and thistle seeds and apple suet…

I have become so enamored with the sky and the clouds. I sat in the swing and watched the dark blue sky all day. Hard to think I never gave the sky and clouds a thought but sitting in a swing and watching them daily, I’ve begun to marvel at how beautiful they are. Even…

Father Sky and Mother Nature collaborated together today and created another glorious fall day, warm bright sunshine, cotton boll clouds floating around the azure blue sky canvas, melding together and crowding each other. Some of the clouds were softly brushed on their bellies with light gray but not colored dark enough to spill some rain.…

The man in the moon was still up when I walked Penelope this morning. I’ve enjoyed looking for him in the mornings, dressed in his pale luminous pajamas. Can’t find him some nights, though. Today was so delightfully fall. Blue sky, clear and cloudless as far as the eye could see. Guess Father Sky decided…

Today was so pretty, clean blue sky, blushed with thin wisps of frail clouds. The sun was working overtime getting temperatures up in the mid-seventies. The breeze blew just strong enough to ping the wind chimes softly and knock the loose acorns off their branches. An acorn fell from my old water oak and hit…

Today was a glorious fall day. William Cullen describes it best, “Autumn…the year’s last, loveliest smile.” The sky was one big blue grin, cloudless, sparkling in the sunshine. I sat in the swing to watch the songbirds a little while before I did some much needed chores but the day’s beauty rooted me to the…
