The much needed rain is falling but it’s a beautiful day to me because I have the sun in my heart. I’m sitting in my reading chair watching nature’s silver tears bring life back to my parched landscape. The sky is a bowl of melted vanilla ice cream swirled with grays and occasional pops of…

I’m so grateful I can still look at the world through a child’s eyes. The eyes of children are always full of wonder at the Lord’s creations, excited to be alive with life, knowing there is magic to be found. It’s so hard to hold on to the magic of childhood as the responsibilities of…

Drove home from Alexander City this morning under a vanilla overcast cigar smoke sky, clouds gathered together in grays and purples, spitting a heavy drizzle on my windshield. The trees decided to button up their colorful fall cardigans this weekend and I enjoyed all their glorious colors as I motored home. I was thanking God…

On this day in 2024 I wrote — Today started off like fall but ended on a summer note. Got hot when the sun hit the porch mid-afternoon so I came in and sat in my reading chair and watched the movie On Golden Pond. The movie was filmed in Holderness, New Hampshire, on Squam…

Visiting out of town a few days, blog is from archives on this day in 2023, new blogs beginning Tuesday — Another glorious fall day today, blue skies and puffy white clouds, perfect for porch pondering. It was hot, too, in mid-afternoon. I sat in the swing for several hours eating my breakfast and watching…

Guess I’m feeling my age but it was too cool to sit in the swing and ponder after supper today. I was too lazy to get a sweater so I went to the lady den and watched my world through the room’s nine windows. The birds, enjoying their supper sunflower seeds, frolicked back and forth…

This morning the sky was perfectly beautiful and perfectly cloudless. Not even one turkey vulture or crow circling to mar the blue sky canvas. The yard was so quiet, the wind chimes were pinging a one note Big Ben bong, counting off the hours in minute time. As the day progressed, jet contrails morphed into…

Had a busy day but not so busy I didn’t notice the beautiful deep blue fall sky. Took oldest sister-in-law to Franklin, Georgia, to watch the Heard County High School homecoming parade. Her grandson is on the football team and her daughter is a cheerleader coach. The drive to Franklin was so pretty. The trees…

Some dear family friends stopped by this afternoon. We haven’t seen each other in many years but we took right back up like we’d never been apart. Enjoyed their porch visit so much! Sad that some of us don’t see out of town family and friends except at weddings and funerals. The world just spins…

Was a cool morning today under a deep blue sky, cloud free. So glad I shut all the windows last night. It was 39 degrees this morning and once these old plaster walls get cold it takes a while to warm the house back up. I won’t be turning on my gas guzzling furnace till…
