Father Sky looked in his box of pastels today and picked up a beautiful blue stick to sketch the sky. His sky is perfect, looks like a deep blue sapphire ring resting on the warm finger of the sun, so in love she’s beaming with joy. I wonder if Father Sky gave it to her.…

Today marks two years of my writing a blog. I’m sitting here tonight looking at a blank piece of paper patiently waiting for the words to come. Maybe I’m done…no I’m not, just kidding. Been doing chores all day in happy anticipation of Thanksgiving guests and didn’t ponder in the swing long enough to get…

Listened to Anne Murray last night singing the lyrics to Lord, I Hope This Day Is Good. And it was. God blessed us with a good rain. I took my pansies out of their urns and put the pots on the sidewalk so they could enjoy the rain showers. We haven’t had good pansy growing…

Another beautiful day the Lord has created, warm sunshine with that beautiful blue fall sky I enjoying gazing on. I love the word beautiful, use it too much, but sometimes it just fits perfectly. I ate my bagel sitting in the swing this morning working on my grocery list for Thanksgiving, watching the songbirds and…

My children took me out for lunch Friday at The Curious Kitchen in Senoia, Georgia. Dessert was apple pie cooked in a very small cast iron skillet with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top. Delicious! So delicious! Cast iron skillets, I love them. Can’t imagine cooking cornbread in anything else. Fried green…

Drove up to see the grandchildren under a vanilla ice cream sky Thursday morning, happily perched in my purple Kia Sorento. I’ve named her Theodosia. I drove a Tahoe for 23 years, “Bertha,” and it’s taking a while to get used to a smaller SUV but I am loving it and all her bells and…

From my archives, November 14, 2023 Too cool and damp for any porch pondering but on my walks with Penelope I watched the birds on the feeders and the squirrels running around the oaks trees. My oak tree has lost it leaves of sunshine and is now covered in brown leaves. The large oak tree…

From my archives… Finally got my photo taken standing by the Shady Oaks sign. If you’ve been reading my blogs the last year you know my youngest child threatens me, in good fun, to pack me up and send me to Shady Oaks. On the Golden Girls TV show Dorothy ships her mother off to…

Today was a wondrous fall day with a blustery wind creating whirl winds of leaves that travelled down the street. I love watching the leaves dancing in the wind. My water oak is covering my yard with its brown and yellow ballerinas. Gonna have to rake the leaves, soon. The wind chimes were pounding out…

So happy to have bagels and fruit in my fridge this morning. I enjoyed eating breakfast perched in the swing and watching the songbirds on the feeders. Been suffering from bagel withdrawal for several days. I’m addicted to bagels and cream cheese and raspberry preserves with hot coffee on the side. I pondered on the…
