  • The sun is a daily reminder that we can rise from darkness…

    Did my yard chores this morning, sweating out my clothes, my eyes burning with sweat dripping in them. Just got too late a start and the heat and humidity beat me down. Did notice the summer sky, though. Never too hot for me to not gaze at the heavens and appreciate all the beauty of…

  • We all share the stars when we look up…

    Another beautiful day the Lord hath made. Glorious blue sky with white cauliflower shaped clouds and clear yellow sunshine, a sultry summer day, sweltering like Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire. I filled up the bird feeders, washed the bird baths, and watered the garden and I was done. Just too hot and humid to…

  • The heavens declare the glory of God…

    My friend described this morning’s awakening day perfectly, “sailor blue sky and goose down clouds…movin’ slow like a small town Christmas parade.” I watched the snow white sun kissed clouds meandering across the sky and enjoyed all the songbird symphonies and wind chime sings. My yard was full of birds and butterflies. I think the…

  • Hold them in the palm of your hand…

    Spent the day with my dearest friend and we laughed the day away and tea partied with DQ Blizzards. Every time I visit I see new treasures in her eclectic collections and she always places a few in my hands when I leave. I love her! Had a beautiful hour’s drive over to her home,…

  • I felt the pain of a thousand Comanche arrows…

    Oldest brother woke me up with the doorbell this morning with this, “You just get up? You know what time it is?” Yes, I just got up, I thought, and I had no idea what day or what time it was. I recently purchased an stationary exercise bike and that thing is as good as…

  • The magic of ordinary days is the blessing of life…

    Went on the porch this morning and the day was just lovely. Father sky had picked up his azure pastel, sketched a dark blue sky, added little thins wisps of white cotton candy clouds, coloring the sun so yellow I could see her golden rays shining down from heaven through the leaves of the old…

  • Find the sunsets, even on the darkest days…

    Sat out on the porch this morning surveying my overgrown yard and looking at goats for sale on the internet. Wasn’t hungry for breakfast but my yard was full of songbirds singing for their breakfasts. The bird symphony was staccatoed with the harsh music of the neighborhood hawk calling his mate. As I perched and…

  • Don’t waste a moment on mosquito wings…

    Father Sky stuck to his regular pastel sky sketches this morning, summer blue sky, fluffy white clouds, bright yellow sunshine. I love watching him sketch the clouds and run the colors together. I ate breakfast perched in the swing. Tried to enjoy it as the starving, never fed dog of mine gave me the sad…

  • You can find hope even in the darkest night…

    Such a pretty day that God has given us today. I ate my breakfast bagel and fruit sitting in the swing watching the sky go from a blue sky day to a thunderstorm sky day. No rain fell but the sky was glorious as she changed her colors all morning. Mother Nature dialed up the…

  • When a sunrise steals your breath….

    One of my blogging friends has a God given talent with nature photography. He has captured a magnificent sunrise, beautifully rendered by God and Mother Nature’s paint brushes, a wondrous watercolor divinely caught, it’s composition beautiful enough to grace the walls of an art museum. He has photographed this river sunrise at the perfect moment,…
