Been cooking and decorating the kitchen today. Put all my bird figurines in the long deep kitchen windowsill and placed Christmas beads and colored glass Christmas balls around them. Looks pretty, maybe nothing will roll off and break in the sink. Hung our stockings on the kitchen’s fireplace screen, decorated the mantle. Made three pecan…

From my archives — I love mornings like today. No plans, no agenda. I’m free to sit and enjoy the birds and the sky scape out the nine lady den windows, sitting happily and warmly under my pink cardinal blanket, Penelope curled up asleep in my lap. The wind is playing a symphony on the…

The sky canvas was a bowl of melted vanilla ice cream today. Father Sky kept the clouds tightly bound together, hard to make out the different colors swirled together but when I sat and stared at the clouds I could see gray and white and a faint purple, a little chocolate syrup mixed with some…

The sky was so mysterious tonight when I took Penelope on her last walk. The moon was full and luminous but was covered by a large purple cloud that look just like a large hand opening and closing its fingers. The moon would peak bravely through a crack in the fingers and then the fingers…

The sky is just as beautiful and blue this morning as the 12-carat Ceylon sapphire in Princess Diana’s engagement ring. I was thinking, where I had seen this shade of blue, trying to describe the color, and the princess’s ring came to mind. The queen was angry because Diana chose a ring from the jeweler’s…

Today was a beautiful day, winter blue sky sketched by Father Sky, dotted with wispy white clouds and warm golden sunshine. Mother Nature invited Mr. North Wind to spend the day and he blew ferociously most of the day. Proverbs 25:23 reads, “The north wind brings forth rain, and a backbiting tongue, an angry countenance.”…

“If you can dance like raindrops there will always be sunshine,” Curtis Tyrone Jones. Love this quote and it described my morning. Drove home from Peachtree City this morning in the rain but my little car Theodosia was full of of warm sunshine and happy memories from visiting my grandchildren. Weren’t any clouds on my…

“My favorite journey is looking out the window,” Edward Goree. I love sitting in a reading chair and watching out the windows. I pick on my grandchildren when I catch them not looking out the window of the car when I’m on a trip with them. I’ll spot something interesting and they’ll wish they had…

From my archives of December, 2023… Sat in the swing briefly this morning to enjoy the flock of goldfinches who have checked into my bird hotel. Could not ponder long, the wind was bitter, biting the wind chime pipes and my hands and cheeks. The gold finches are so pretty, little piggy round and fat,…

Sat in the swing all afternoon waiting for the sun to slide down the sky, waiting to see Mother Nature’s glorious watercolors on the horizon. The sun’s sterling silver rays were like a flashlight beam on my face as I sat perched in the swing. I could feel its life giving heat, hot on my…
