In my book of quotes for every day, today’s quote is “Laughter is sunshine; it chases winter from the human face,” Victor Hugo. Isn’t that a beautiful way to describe laughter. Love that description and I love to laugh. Laughter is happiness music from the heart. I thought about that while I was trying not…

A beautiful day for giving thanks as I walk Penelope in a cool wind under a cloudless clear blue sky. The bird feeders are empty of songbirds. Maybe they are gathering in someone else’s yard for their Thanksgiving feast. I can hear the songbirds’ hymns of thanks from their perches on the old oak branches…

The day is always so pretty after a stormy night. Father Sky colors the sky a fresh dark blue. Mother Nature encourages the sun to beam her golden rays down to warm the day’s beginning. The jet contrails fill the sky with long wispy angel wing clouds. Mr. Waxing Crescent Moon peeks out from behind…

Tried several times to ponder in the porch swing today but it was spitting rain every time I went out on the porch. The rain and wind have pulled the trees’ limbs and branches from their colorful cardigans and left them naked and cold. Penelope and I took a short walk in the drizzle looking…

Back to my little piece of heaven this morning, my world quiet and unscheduled. I picked up Penelope from vet brother’s clinic and she danced all over the yard with happiness when we came home. Kat walked with us like she was on the leash, too. I think she’s missed Penelope. We have a new…

My children and their dog Magnolia got in their big white car early afternoon and motored home to Peachtree City, waving out the windows as their daddy drove away. We had a wonderful visit. I love having my family under my roof, it warms my heart and soothes my soul. Albert Einstein said, “Rejoice with…

I took note of Father Sky’s marbled sky canvas, all the faint colors of the clouds this morning, myriads of gray and vanilla and a pale, pale blue, as I sat in the porch swing for a while. You glance up and just see an overcast sky but sit still a few moments and really…

Walked Penelope early morning and took note of all the colors in the marbled sky, grays and white and hints of turquoise and purple. These little colorful hues come and go so fast if you’re not watching you miss them. You don’t think about beauty in an overcast sky but look and you’ll see Mother…

Porch pondered in the swing today between chores. Been cloudy much of the day, overcast cloud covers like melted vanilla ice cream in a beautiful bowl with purples and blues and cigar smoke gray swirled in by a sterling silver spoon. I love to stare at an overcast sky and look for colors. When the…

Pondering in the porch swing today. It’s warmer outside than in my house. The sky is overcast in melted vanilla ice cream, swirled with blues and cigar smoke grays. The sun is doing her best to peek through the cloud covers. I’m watching eight pair of cardinals on the bird feeders. The squirrels are scampering…
