Another wonderful day in the summer sun. We had a storm mid-morning. I love a rainy day at the beach watching the storm clouds roll in and gather, booming out their thunder, bolting out their lightning, dropping their rain on Mother Earth. We had enjoyed the pool till the thunder and purple clouds drove us…

Put my beach chair out in the ocean this morning, letting the waves grab my feet, trying to drag me out to deeper water. The large brown pelicans were on shore patrol, flying low over the ocean like B-52 bombers, dropping into the waves, disguising themselves as tugboats, bobbing up and down like toys on…

I’ve had a beautiful day with my family, a gift of joy, and many a deposit to my memory’s bank. We’ve been to the pool and played cards and rode bikes and worked on our puzzle and celebrated my youngest grandson’s fourteenth birthday. Family togetherness is a gift from God. Quoted this often and felt…

Enjoyed today with the sun and the glorious ocean. The beach was full of birds — the tugboat penguins, the dive bombing gannets, and the quarreling crows. The old great blue heron stalked the beach fishermen, snatching their bait fish when an opportunity opened. A snowy egret wandered around wearing her yellow high heels, watching…

Did some bird watching today, seated in my red striped beach chair, my feet in the Atlantic Ocean, watching two dolphins frolic in the blue green ocean waters. A murder of crows playing in the loblolly pines on the side of our beach house kept distracting me while I was on shark patrol, cawing and…

I’m full of delicious shrimp, walking on the beach at Hilton Head, South Carolina, my toes wet from the ocean waves. I can feel the tired heart beat of the ocean as it laps on the shore. I’m following a tuxedoed old man, a Great Blue Heron, his skinny legs taking deliberate steps on the…

Traveling this morning under a sky so blue it’s almost purple. The road stretches out in front of me, heat shimmering up. Another hot day in the south and I love it. Didn’t rain at my house yesterday, first time in a while, and the temperature was cooler. Enjoyed my porch perching yesterday and bird…

Back on the porch this morning, perched in the swing. It’s noticeable cooler and less humid. Amazing how a ten degree change in temperature changes things. The sky is beautifully overcast in cigar smoke grays and melted vanilla ice cream colors, blue pastel sketches peeping through in spots. Late afternoon the sun broke through revealing…

Today has been like no other. Went to oldest sister-in-law’s house to get a shirt her ironing lady starched up for me. She’s the sweetest little lady but will never let me pay her. Last time I put the money in with the money vet brother leaves for her. She got it out and left…

Today has been a good day! I’ll give it a ten but it’s hotter than the metal hinges on the gates of Hades. My jaw isn’t aching, the stitches aren’t bothering me. Went to the grocery store. It was Paw Paw Tuesday at WM, ten percent off for old fogies. Loved it when they asked,…
