Been sitting in the porch swing most of the day. Guess I’m a certified porch potato now. The sky has been cornflower blue all day, cloudless and clear, the sun hot on my cheeks when her rays reach the porch mid-day. A cool breeze has pinged the wind chimes, adding bell solos to the songbird…

Played porch tag with the porch swings all day. Sat in one swing, too hot with my sweater on. Sat in other swing, too cold without my sweater. I felt like Goldilocks with her bowl of porridge. The day was so pretty, warm sun beaming from a blue sky canvas dotted with fluffy clouds. Had…

Can’t remember the last time I watched the sun rise, guess it was when I was driving to work in Alexander City in 2021. I’d leave around 4:30 AM and I’d see the sun awaken the day each morning before I got to work. The sunrise colors are so glorious. The sun rises in the…

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…
