Today was such a beautiful day with its blue sky, clear bright sunshine, white fluffy clouds. As John Donne writes, “Yesterday the sun went hence, and yet it is here today.” This morning made me think of the summertime days of my childhood, running through the house, screen door slamming behind me as my bare…

“The singing of birds became an orchestra — a symphony of gossip and mirth,” C. Tagore. That quote describes my yard today. The birds are happy in the sunshine of a glorious blue sky day, singing and talking, calling their mates. There is so much beauty in a bird’s song. They are eternally cheerful, welcoming…

The sky is overcast this morning with thin layers of cigar smoke clouds. I keep waiting for Father Sky to sketch the clouds bellies dark gray to let the rain fall. Late afternoon the sun burned a hole in the clouds, just big enough for her to get her rays through, and quickly dissipated the…

I’m drinking my coffee this morning perched on a black polka dotted swing cushion gazing at an overcast sky, beautiful layers of silk sky fabric in pale elderberry and whipping cream colors, resting on the antique cutting table of the horizon. Prettiest overcast sky canvas I’ve every seen sketched by Father Sky and his pastels.…

Today has been a day! Dentist for a crown placement, Dollar G for dog food, then grocery store. Came home and saw a small puddle of water between the sunroom and living room. The waters had dripped from the molding in the middle of the cased opening between the rooms. No water on the wall.…

The sky is so beautifully blue this morning, cloudless, clear hot summertime sunshine beaming down. Mother Nature sprinkled her diamonds of dew on the fronds of the neighborhood’s grass.

Drove back to Alabama this morning. I left when the grandboys drove off to school in their golf cart. Loved waving and blowing the horn when I passed them driving happily down the golf cart path to school. These sweet boys sure got to high school quickly. And sister in middle school is not far…

Another beautiful day of grandmothering. Been playing card games, Go Fishing, Crazy Eights, with a few games of Blackjack thrown in with freeze pops for treats. I won the Go Fishing tournament with a record 17 pairs. The parentals just got home from their anniversary trip, loved seeing the teenagers hugging on their parents. My…

Beautiful day, the sun has burned off the thin gray clouds. My grandchildren have been so sweet. The parentals flew off this morning for a short anniversary trip. My granddaughter made pancakes for breakfast. She’s so exact with her measuring. I couldn’t get her to try the Patty no measure way. Told her I used…

I’m visiting my grandchildren this weekend. Drove up to Peachtree City today under a pale blue sky with clouds resembling smiles, guess Father Sky was sketching the smile on my face. Went to the children’s high school football game tonight, started late after a rain delay. I get excited seeing my oldest grandson in the…
