Father Sky sketched a pale blue sky canvas this morning and rubbed his white pastel across the sky filling the heavens with thin white clouds. The songbirds were scarce today. I could hear their beautiful symphonies but the birds didn’t venture into the yard till late afternoon. I’m just amazed by the number of cardinals…

I sat and watched the birds this morning as I perched in my purple yard chair. Was a little too cool in the shade of the porch swing. I wonder why I haven’t seen a robin this year. Folklore says the robins brought fire from heaven so maybe they warm the earth, waking her for…

Such a beautiful day today! The sky was almost cornflower blue. Not a cloud in sight when I walked Penelope. It was chilly and the wind was fierce at times. The cardinals and finches were flitting around the feeders, the buzzards were climbing the sky’s circular staircase, riding the wind currents. I love all the…

Such a beautiful day. The sky is blue, the sun bright and warm, the clouds white and fluffy. Every thing looks green and fresh from all the rain’s nitrogen. Somehow the day following a storm or tragedy is always beautiful. Perhaps that’s God’s way of giving us hope for tomorrow. Prayers for those who lost…

Sitting here with bad weather coming through. The electricity is flickering so I’m going to choose something from my archives before I’m cut off. The wind has been so glorious today. I sat on the porch swing and watched the trees dance. But now the wind has gotten angry and is bringing thunderstorms and tornadoes…

Another pretty day sprinkled with beautiful bird songs, warm sunshine beaming down from a spring blue sky dotted with rain clouds. Mother Nature, Father Sky, and Old Man Winter are cooking up some heavy storms this weekend. Hope everyone will weather the storms safely. Be weather aware this weekend! I’ve porch pondered today but dictated…

I woke up this morning again to the “Frank, Frank” alarm sounding from the bamboo forest. A little research and I soon found out “Frank” is a squirrel’s sound for danger. We have six neighborhood cats who wander early mornings through the bamboo in the backyard, up the cement steps to the front yard. I…

I’m sitting in the porch swing enjoying my morning breakfast bagel and cantaloupe, watching the beautiful morning as it unfolds. A gentle breeze is blowing the wind chime pipes, pinging a soft song, so quiet I have to sit still and listen for the melody. Woke up this morning hearing a bird in the bamboo…

Today was so pretty, got hot late afternoon. I enjoyed the porch all day, doing nothing but sitting in the swing watching the world go by in my yard, pondering on things I read or thought about. Found some beautiful tiny teeny wildflowers I‘ve never noticed before on my first morning walk with Penelope and…

Heard two sentences today that really caused me to do some deep pondering. The first one I heard on a movie — “Life’s a big stinking mess but that’s the beauty of it.” The second sentence I’m saving for another day. Okay, I agree that life can be a stinking mess. So what clarifies as…
