Been enamored by the birds today. My yard is full of cardinals and chickadees and titmice. Saw a pileated woodpecker and a turkey buzzard sharing the winter blue sky. A little flock of sparrows were scratching around the little yellow dandelions and took flight when Penelope and I walked by. Bird watching is such a…

Today woke up to a beautiful blue sky accented with bleached cotton boll clouds floating freely, spaced out, being careful to not bump into each other. The sun was warm and bright even though early morning was cold. I still see the six little dandelion blooms, bright yellow, pushing up through the brown oak leaves…

Today was such a pretty picture. Father Sky sketched a pastel blue sky and filled his winter sky sketch with small white clouds. The birds were enjoying the sunshine this morning, singing happily, composing a euphonious yard symphony. I filled the bird feeders up under the supervision of a fat little pine warbler. He just…

Winter is still with us but my snow is gone. I’m riding my stationary bike dressed in my penguin feeted pjs watching a titmice reunion on the bird feeder outside the lady den windows. Looks like the titmouse sitting on top of the feeder pole is taking roll to see who survived another winter night.…

Well, it was cold today and it’s even colder tonight. Had given up on the snowflakes but late afternoon the tiny white flakes came down and dusted the ground and the roof tops on my street. I sat in the quiet of the lady den and watched the snowflakes gather on the bamboo leaves, transferring…

Father Sky sketched a wondrous winter blue sky this morning. No clouds, just a lone turkey buzzard climbing the circular stairway in the windy sky. My yard was full of birds filling their little bellies with sunflower seeds. All the birds sitting on the power lines had their feathers fluffed, insulating themselves against the cold.…

Father Sky sketched a beautiful vanilla overcast sky today, lot of colors caught up in his clouds, cigar smoke grays, purples and blues. Mr. North Wind blew the bamboo around in a dancing congo line. He had a bite in his wind today, nipping my ears and fingers, showing us who’s the boss before Mother…

Sitting my reading chair in the lady den watching the birds on their feeders, eating the last remnants of Chex mix leftovers from my grandson’s Eagle Scout ceremony, wondering about buying some snow snacks. I need some boiled peanuts, some chips and dip, and some black rind hoop cheese and crackers to survive the up…

“Some days you’re the windshield some days you’re the bug. It is what it is.” That quote never fails to make me laugh. And I am always the bug! Walmart delivered my package to the wrong house today. Said it would be mailed but someone dropped it off on a porch down the street. I…

I’ve been sitting in my purple yard chair watching all the birds happily flittering around, singing their thankful songs for the beautiful winter day and feeders full of fresh sunflower seeds. The wind chimes were adding their bell sounding pings to the yard symphony. Penelope and Kat were soaking up the warm sunshine sitting near…
