Beautiful day, bright blue sky, hot humid sunshine. The sun is beaming down directly on the yellow sunflowers, their heads turned upward, worshipping the warmth. The purple finches are arguing loudly on the feeders today. The cardinals, shy around all the noise of the finches, are slowly flocking to the bird feeders. I saw the…

I’m sitting outside on the porch during a heavy downpour of rain. I can see the individual raindrops falling, silver life giving tears from heaven. I immediately wondered is God displeased with humanity now? Is he wishing for more kindness and consideration in a changing and confused world? We need to get on our knees…

“If your day is hemmed in prayer, it is less likely to become unraveled.” Cynthia Lewis. I love that thought. Once a day gets unraveled it’s hard to get back on track. Today was D day for me and the dentist visit went well. Have to have to two implants to hold a new bridge…

This morning when I woke, I read this quote and was moved again by these beautiful words of Ralph Waldow Emerson. I’m always inspired by these words. I’m writing for a second time about this beautiful quote, glorious words to inspire and give thoughts to how we live our lives. We should speak these words…

“Birds are nature’s poets, each song a verse of the earth’s melody.” That’s a beatiful quote from an unnamed source. I love the birds singing in the warmth of the day’s waking and I can see them as poets of glorious poems they set to songs entwined with the earth’s music. The birds greet each…

The sky is so pretty this afternoon, looks like a Summer sunny day illustration in a child’s picture book — bright yellow sun, deep blue sky, pristine fluffy white clouds. Father Sky did a great job with his sky canvas today. Earlier in the day storm clouds gathered together in colors of blue and purple…

Soon as I opened the door this morning and headed out with Penelope I was surrounded and hugged by the oppressive humidity. The day felt, looked and smelled just like the summer days of my childhood. The sky is robin’s egg blue, a few white puffs of clouds floating in the blueness, hot sunshine beaming…

The sky is so pretty this morning, such a deep blue it’s almost purple in places. The birds are singing beautifully, happy and thankful for another day on planet earth. Absolutely no noise other than the bird songs, so gloriously peaceful. I sat in the swing enjoying the quiet for hours. Didn’t even ponder and…

Played “Let the Cat Die” in the porch swing today. My grandchildren loved to do that when they were so young we could all four sit in the swing together. You sit in the swing, swing high, then hold your legs up, and when the swing stops, the cat dies. Did a little research and…

Today was a day full of blue skies and white clouds and rain showers and pale purple clouds. It would rain and then the sun would come out, then the clouds would bunch together, and it would rain again. In the afternoon the sky was covered in thin cigar smoke clouds. I could see through…
