When I walked out on the porch this morning, I was gifted with a beautiful cloudless, deep blue sky, bathed in bright clear golden sunshine. I sat on the porch in one of my black swings, leaning back on my bird patterned pillow, thinking the Lord has really outdone himself with this wondrous morning. Then…

Another beautiful day for porch sitting this morning. Father Sky sketched a soft blue sky and filled it with niveous fluffy clouds but the day didn’t feel like fall. Summer has come back to my neighborhood. Got hot mid-day on the porch and I hate to admit it, but after I fought a war shutting…

I have done nothing but enjoy being alive this Thursday, perched in the swing most of the day, watching the birds and the butterflies. Bootsie, the neighborhood watch dog, bounced over and had a staring match with Kat. Kat stood her ground and Bootsie got bored and left when she couldn’t intimidate Kat. The beautiful…

Today is my daughter Rosalyn’s 40th birthday. She’s celebrating in heaven with Chief and if their view of the sky is half as pretty as what I can see, she’s having a glorious celebration. If she was here with me we’d be on a birthday shopping spree that would have to include a new purse…

Today was just lovely! The sky was perfectly fall, a dark azure blue, clear and cloudless, the sun warming my face as I walked Penelope. Kat has been watching the birds and butterflies from her perch on the bannisters. The zinnias are full of yellow cloudless sulphur, black swallowtail, and dark orange monarch butterflies. Tomorrow…

Enjoyed the porch today. The beautiful blue sky was sunny and fluffy white clouded. I had a radiance of cardinals, a banditry of chickadees, a charm of finches, a bouquet of hummingbirds, a descent of woodpeckers, a bevy of doves, and a charm of finches happily flitting around in my yard today visiting the feeders,…

Sat on the porch today and enjoyed the quiet rain, contemplating several times about coming in the house for a blanket but then the sun would pop out quickly, warm things up, then hastily retreat behind the clouds. The birds were really feeding today. I filled their favorite feeders this morning and they were almost…

Sat on the porch this morning with Kat and Penelope, watching the birds’ antics and listening the raindrops’ quiet symphonies. My yard had dozens of cardinals and finches, flittering on the feeders, enjoying the light misty rain. The sky was beautifully overcast in shades of gray and beige. I love these cool mornings, hints of…

Today is so cool and comfortable. The sky is full of cigar smoke colored clouds, occasionally parting and giving an opportunity for the azure blue sky to peek through. When the sun’s rays break through, she bleaches the tops of the light gray clouds snow white, making my view of the sky so pretty. My…

I’m about to break out my hot chocolate mug. I’m sitting in my reading chair and a cold breeze is blowing in the windows, making the curtains billow out. I love it! I was sitting in the porch swing contemplating putting on blue jeans till the wind blew rain on me and I had to…
