Today we had vanilla overcasts skies, so pretty with grays and blues and purple clouds rolling up together, joining hands, traveling across the horizon, keeping the sun at bay. The day is calm and quiet, filled with the songs of cardinals and doves and finches. I never see an overcast day as dull and dreary.…

The day is awakening with its azure blue sky, a few cotton candy clouds floating softly on the blueness. The breeze is so pleasant and sounds like fall as it rustles the leaves on the oak tree branches, the leaves holding on tight, waiting to be painted in their glorious fall colors before they let…

“Love you,” I said to the world this morning, blessed with another glorious day. My view this morning is dark blue sky, cloudless as far as I can see, dotted with a dozen vultures riding the wind current’s circular stairway. The yellow sulphur butterflies are dancing around the yard and the raspberry finches are fighting…

Another wondrous blue sky, white clouded September Sunday. Father Sky used his light blue pastels to shade the sky this morning, grabbing a white pastel and sketching some fluffy clouds to float across the sky’s blue ocean. Mother Nature is blowing a cool breeze across the porch, ruffling Kat’s fur and pinging my wind chimes.…

Such a pretty sky today, light blue, bleached white fluffy clouds. Looks just like the pages from a children’s book I remember reading to my children. Been sitting here in the swing trying to remember the name of the book. It might be Little Cloud by Eric Carle. Sweet read for children. The wind chimes…

Another vanilla bean ice cream colored overcast sky today, beautiful as I watch the subtle grays and purple and blues meld together, keeping the sun’s rays to herself, the clouds spitting out a stingy few drops of rain, barely enough to wet the sidewalk. Guess it’s time for another rain dance, been 17 days since…

I enjoyed the porch today. Got hot early afternoon so I sat in my reading chair with a biography about Queen Elizabeth. Didn’t read any pages. Was watching three squirrels play tag up and down a dead bamboo stalk, while occasionally dozing off. My friend sent me this short verse about a squirrel. “He wore…

Today was a wondrous peek at the coming fall, cornflower blue sky, cloudless and clear, a breeze so nice and cool I almost came in the house for a sweater. It was 69 degrees! The summer is ending and Mother Nature is mixing colors on her palette to paint the leaves in captivating colors of…

A wondrous breeze is blowing across my porch creating wind chime symphonies, temperature is in the low 70’s, perfect for porch perching and pondering. September has arrived but I know she’s still got summer hanging in her closet. So happy to be back in my routine this morning, bagel breakfast on the porch, perched in…

Had a beautiful drive home late morning from Peachtree City. Been with my grandchildren for five fun days. Father Sky had rendered a summer blue sky and shaded the skyline’s horizon a deep aqua blue. The sky, on the drive home, was full of the prettiest small wisps of clouds in glorious shades of purples,…
