I saw some of the most beautiful clouds today as I was sitting in the swing and porch pondering on this glorious Sunday the Lord has created. As Remez Sasson said, “The moving clouds draw shifting images on the canvas of the sky.” One big cloud Father Sky sketched this morning looked just like a…

Man it was southernly sultry today, hot and humid, blue skies and white clouds, steaming sunshine. Oldest brother and I sat on the porch with the box fan blowing on us. He perched in the swing like daddy, one leg up, one leg down, and I perched in the double rocking chair. We talked about…

Perched in the swing this morning watching the charm of purple finches fight over their favorite feeder. I have lots of feeders around my yard but it never fails, these raspberries colored beauties with their humble soft brown mates argue over the six perches on this feeder all day. I think the cardinals are glad…

Opened the door this morning to take Penelope for her morning walk and Kit Kat had left me a prize on the front porch, a big fat dead rat. Kat was so proud of saving us from the rat, she pranced around it meowing. Penelope just ignored her and the rat. Guess that was what…

So pretty outside this morning, blue sky dotted with Clorox white clouds, yellow sunshine filtering through the crowns of the old oaks and magnolias. A gentle breeze is playing a symphony on the wind chimes, keeping the porch pleasant. The faithful cardinals are enjoying the day, flittering around the bird baths and singing happily. I…

Missed the sunset tonight but don’t think it could have been any more magnificent than this photograph of sunset from my friend in Winter Garden, Florida. What a glorious view she has every night with the sun slowly dropping into Lake Apopka at twilight. She described it as the sun setting “under a pastel comforter…

“And they were canopied by the blue sky, so cloudless, clear, and purely beautiful, that God alone was to be seen in Heaven,” Lord Byron. I think the sky today, dark Caribbean blue with not even a wisp of a cloud to mar the sky’s beauty, would inspire Lord Byron. So, so pretty this morning…

A beautiful summer day in my neighborhood today. A gentle cool breeze is pinging the wind chimes, waking the earth from its slumber. The sky is the color of the wild blue yonder, full of fluffy clouds lazily floating along. The warmth from the bright sunshine is making the zinnias a scattered rainbow of colors…

I’ve fallen in love again, with the day’s tranquil twilight. Never seen it more beautiful than tonight. As I perched in the swing, I watched the sun slip below the horizon, listening as the twilight whispered words of love to the earth, bringing the stars and the moon out from their hiding places. Twilight is…

Pondered on the porch till mid afternoon today, the porch cooled by a summer breeze, the sun shaded by large bleached white and gray cigar smoke clouds floating in the azure blue sky. The red bellied woodpecker finally noticed the new suet in his feeders and enjoyed a breakfast feast. I was so happy to…
