Walking Penelope today “I saw the moon and the moon saw me.” I love that verse from the children’s nursery rhyme about the moon. Mr. Waxing moon was perched right behind my house this afternoon in that beautiful dark blue winter sky. I thought he was fully dressed but research on today’s moon says he’s…

My yard is so beautiful in the silence of the snowfall. Everything is still and quiet, covered with a thick white dusting of glittering white snow. This sky is the color of melted butter pecan ice cream, dripping thick cold rain. The birds are twittering and quarreling over the bird feeders’ perches. My little dog…

Today is another beautiful crisp, clear winter day. Father Sky has sketched a sapphire blue sky with no clouds in sight. My pets are invigorated by the cold air and are skipping around frisky and happy. The sun is blazing bright, her warmth hard to feel on this bitterly cold morning. I’m on snowflake watch.…

Was definitely a winter day today. When I walked Penelope early morning the cold air bit my hands, put its icy fingers on my face and ears. The sky was winter blue, cloudless and clear. And the beautiful glorious sunshine trying to warm up the earth, kissing the four little dandelions’ blooms, yellow as Crayola…

It was wintry cold on our first doggie walk this morning. Penelope had on a baggy sweater and was running around in the cold so happily. I was toasty warm in my new coat, a gift from my dearest friend. Kat joined us on our walk, just as frisky as Penelope. They drug me down…

Drove home from Peachtree City this morning under a rainy sky. The clouds all gathered together rolled up in lines of gray and blue and purple, spitting just enough rain to be aggravating — wipers, no wipers, wipers, no wipers. Never fails when I come home from visiting the grandchildren, when I drive by the…

From my archives on this day of 2023. I’m visiting the grandchildren but headed home tomorrow so new blog coming Tuesday morning. Thanks for reading my words! Sitting on the porch and pondering in the porch swing. Lots of birds flitting around. Penelope is surveying her kingdom. Barks every time the mailman comes by. He…

From my archives… Pondering in the swing on the porch today. Have a metal colander full of popcorn in my lap and a pint fruit jar of Dr. Pepper, sporting a purple straw. Penelope is in her pen snuggled under her red bird blanket. She just heard the brakes squeak on the FedX truck up…

Henry David Thoreau said, “An early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.” I was greeted by a glorious morning as I took Penelope on her first walk of the day and have been blessed with a beautiful Friday. Mother Nature is blowing the bamboo around this morning, rustling their slender branches, fanning…

Was walking Penelope this afternoon in the crisp air of a beautiful blue sky winter afternoon and I noticed a few solitaire dandelions, their yellow blooms sparkling in the warm sun like jewels in a pile of trash. Amid the limbs and the remains of a huge cardboard stove box four bright yellow dandelion blooms…
