Been doing Indian rain dances all afternoon. Hasn’t rained at my house since my birthday, April 1. Rain is such a glorious fertilizer for newly planted gardens. My flowers will pop right up if we get a good soaking rain. Scripture reads rain is a symbol of God’s blessings, a gift of God’s faithfulness. We…

All day I’ve been reminded of a verse of scripture from Psalms, “Be still, and know I am God.” My yard has been perfectly silent and still today. There were a few bird arias and a little woodpecker drumming but my yard was still and quiet and I felt God’s presence in the silence, the…

Drove home this morning from visiting the grandchildren in Georgia under a sunny, blue cloudless sky. Enjoyed my grandsons’ band concert last night. I loved my years in the high school band and it thrills me to attend their concerts. My youngest grandson is playing my trumpet. I also attended the Spanish Honor Society induction…

Another day full of God’s blue cloudless sky and Mother Nature’s kite flying wind. The sun is bright and the greens of all the tree foliage are highlighted by the sun. So pretty. The birds are singing, the trees are rustling with their new leaves. I am thinking this might have been the kind of…

“It’s a beautiful morning, ah, I think I’ll go outside for a while and just smile. Just take in some clean fresh air, boy (Ain’t) no sense in staying inside if the weather’s fine and you got the time. It’s your chance to wake up and plan another brand-new day,” A Beautiful Morning, The Rascals.…

Today just looks like a page from a children’s picture book illustrating spring — bright blue sky, fluffy white clouds, clear yellow sunshine warming the earth. But, Old Man Winter had an argument with Mother Nature so he huffed and puffed and lowered the temperature to a fall setting and got old Mr. North Wind…

I’m up earlier than usual walking Penelope down the sidewalk next door. The day is beautiful dressed in blue, embroidered with white fluffy clouds and lemon yellow sunshine. “I’m walking on sunshine and don’t it feel good,” Zooey Deschanel. That quote is perfect for the happiness I feel today. I’m walking down the sidewalk I…

Such a pretty morning with the beautiful blue sky of coming summer. I ate my breakfast toast and cantaloupe in the swing pondering on birds and all the old houses on my street. Why do we love old houses? They always give us trouble, but we don’t hold it against them. Most of the houses…

The skies are deep Caribbean blue this morning, such a pretty contrast against the spring green trees with their newly born leaves. I love this spring quote by Sitting Bull. “Behold, my friends, the spring is come; the earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun, and we shall soon see the results of…

Beautiful day for porch pondering. The weather is just perfect, the wind chimes pinging soft melodies from the leftover March winds. Vivid blue sky has a few wispy clouds. The birds are flitting and finding perches on the feeders, singing their morning symphonies and hymns. The porch lizards and Penelope are taking their morning sunbaths.…
