Today was another gloriously created day. Like the last star’s light at dawn, August is fading into sweet September. The sky was an overcast cloud collection of grays and whites, vanillas and blues, all rolled up together keeping the day pleasant. Every now and then the sun would break through the clouds with a bright…

Can’t deny fall is on the way. Today was just lovely for sitting out on the porch, a beautiful blue sky, bleached white clouds, the touch of a breeze too weak to ping the wind chime pipes but strong enough to keep the porch pleasant. I perched in the swing eating my breakfast bagel, slapping…

Sat down to put pen to paper late afternoon and I turned over my tea glass, twice! Cleaned it up, raking all the ice back in the glass, and knocked it over again cleaning up the spilled tea. Probably too late to be drinking tea anyway. We don’t need to cry over spilt milk or…

Today was a little hint of the fall to come, beautiful azure blue sky filled with bright white cumulous clouds, an autumn’s breeze wafting across the porch, making the wind chimes sing pleasantly. The wind ran swiftly across the porch ruffling the fern branches and Kit Kat’s fur as she slept on the bannister, softly…

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…
