Today was truly a day the Lord hath made, beautiful blue cloudless sky and warm bright sunshine. I love these days when there’s the slightest touch of fall blue in the sky color. Pondered on the porch swing with my coffee this morning. These mornings are feeling more like fall every day. Some early leaves…

The morning is so pretty, the sky blue and cloudless, the sun clear and bright. A repeat of previous days. I love reruns! And this wonderful cool breeze, a prequel to the festive fall with all its colorful watercolors. I ate my breakfast in the swing listening to the calls and love songs of the…

The sky this morning was beautiful, the clear azure blue of September. Nothing but a half moon and a huge white cloud shaped like a feather marred the sky. I stood and looked at the feather cloud in amazement. I was too dumbfounded to run and get my camera to take a photo. It looked…

“Blue skies, smilin’ at me, Nothin’ but blue skies do I see.” I love that song and I can hear Ella Fitzgerald singing those lyrics as I sit in the porch swing enjoying the day’s morning coming alive.

Been a hot and humid day, summertime pleasantries in the South. Don’t know about y’all but I’d like for some rain to head our way.

Been sitting in the swing this morning listening to the songbirds’ symphonies and thinking about how fast life goes by. I think life is like a rollercoaster ride, up and down, twisting and turning as we journey quickly through time. Good days are rays of sunshine and full of laughter, then life takes a sharp…

The twilight is so beautiful tonight, quiet and cool. The cardinals are eating a late supper, a lone dove perched in her pink high heels on the edge of the birdbath is drinking water. Mother Nature is mixing her watercolors getting ready to paint a magnificent rendering of the day’s demise. The sun walked down…

I love the word blessings. I like how it sounds as it rolls off my tongue. I like the pictures it bring to my mind when I think of all the good fortune in my life. And I love the hymn Count Your Blessings. The chorus reads, “Count your blessings, name them one by one;…
