Walking Penelope this morning in a beautiful English cathedral of stained glass leaves. The sun’s golden rays are shining directly through the maple trees, lighting the trees’ gloriously watercolored leaves. Brings back memories from my college trip to England, the breath taking beauty of their cathedrals’ stained glass windows. My water oak is showing out,…

Did not do any porch pondering or porch swing perching today. I have actually done chores most of the day. Getting ready for my children coming home for our McMurray Thanksgiving dinner. When my family and my three brothers and their families gather there’s over forty of us celebrating together. We have such a good…

Sitting in the swing making notes for tonight’s writing. Oldest brother is picking me up shortly to go to his granddaughter’s birthday party. Hard to believe that beautiful sweet baby is celebrating her 12th birthday. The day is so pretty, blue sky dotted with cotton boll clouds, warm sunshine. Looks like a birthday party day.…

Porch perched and pondered this morning watching the finches and cardinals flitting around enjoying the bird feeders. I have a new critter in my yard, not sure what it is, maybe a deer. My youngest son watched a deer lick the seeds from a feeder late at night several weeks ago but this critter is…

The sun feels so good this early morning. I’m walking Penelope down the sidewalk, cool in the shade of the old oaks but when I step from the shade to the sun, instantly I feel the wonderful warmth of the golden rays. God did well when he gifted us the yellow sun, hung high in…

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…
