Today was so pretty, a fall morning of serendipity. Father Sky sketched a deep blue sky canvas and Mother Nature pulled her cotton bolls apart and flung the pieces in the sky, dotting the sky canvas with clouds bright white and cigar smoke gray. The sun was yellow and warm in the day’s cool. A…

Woke up at 5 AM this morning to a honking goose on the foot of my bed. Penelope was coughing loudly, a perfect impersonation of a Canadian goose. Reminds me of when my babies had the croup. I could not go back to sleep so I just got up for the day. Took her to…

The much needed rain is falling but it’s a beautiful day to me because I have the sun in my heart. I’m sitting in my reading chair watching nature’s silver tears bring life back to my parched landscape. The sky is a bowl of melted vanilla ice cream swirled with grays and occasional pops of…

I’m so grateful I can still look at the world through a child’s eyes. The eyes of children are always full of wonder at the Lord’s creations, excited to be alive with life, knowing there is magic to be found. It’s so hard to hold on to the magic of childhood as the responsibilities of…

Drove home from Alexander City this morning under a vanilla overcast cigar smoke sky, clouds gathered together in grays and purples, spitting a heavy drizzle on my windshield. The trees decided to button up their colorful fall cardigans this weekend and I enjoyed all their glorious colors as I motored home. I was thanking God…

On this day in 2024 I wrote — Today started off like fall but ended on a summer note. Got hot when the sun hit the porch mid-afternoon so I came in and sat in my reading chair and watched the movie On Golden Pond. The movie was filmed in Holderness, New Hampshire, on Squam…

Another glorious fall day today, blue skies and puffy white clouds, perfect for porch pondering. It was hot, too, in mid-afternoon. I sat in the swing for several hours eating my breakfast and watching the birds and the butterflies frolic around the yard. The eastern blue birds that never cross the street came over and…

Guess I’m feeling my age but it was too cool to sit in the swing and ponder after supper today. I was too lazy to get a sweater so I went to the lady den and watched my world through the room’s nine windows. The birds, enjoying their supper sunflower seeds, frolicked back and forth…

This morning the sky was perfectly beautiful and perfectly cloudless. Not even one turkey vulture or crow circling to mar the blue sky canvas. The yard was so quiet, the wind chimes were pinging a one note Big Ben bong, counting off the hours in minute time. As the day progressed, jet contrails morphed into…

Had a busy day but not so busy I didn’t notice the beautiful deep blue fall sky. Took oldest sister-in-law to Franklin, Georgia, to watch the Heard County High School homecoming parade. Her grandson is on the football team and her daughter is a cheerleader coach. The drive to Franklin was so pretty. The trees…
