Another hot Southern summer day, a scorcher but so pretty with the bright blue sky and the white fluffy clouds. I filled up the bird feeders this morning and soon as I got back to the porch Fatty the squirrel was hanging upside down raking sunflower seeds in his mouth lickety-split. I got the cooking…

Sat on the porch this morning eating my bagel and fruit and it was marvelous, darlings! Seventy-six degrees with overcast sky the color of melted vanilla ice cream, birds all over the yard singing their morning symphonies, squirrels running around the oak tree trunk, my flowers all blooming in a riot of colors, not closing…

Sat on the porch this morning pondering and watching the birds. The day is beginning beautifully, deep blue sky canvas dotted with bleached fluffy white clouds. A gentle cooling breeze, too soft to even ping the wind chimes, and the box fan are making the porch pondering pleasant. I love sitting here. I hope before…

Another beautiful day today but still a scorcher. I got up and headed outside to walk Penelope and realized I had both my shirt and my shorts on backwards! Not even going to try to figure out what that might mean. At this stage in my life it doesn’t really matter, I guess. I filled…

This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it,” Psalm 118:24. Another glorious day but a scorcher and the humidity showed up and showed out. I watered my flowers and vegetables and the sweat dripped down my face and burned my eyes. Cleaned the bird baths and…

Sat on the porch this afternoon enjoying the coolest most wonderful rain shower, refreshing the air, giving my vegetables and flowers and lawn a much needed drink of water to quench their thirst. I could almost watch the grass getting greener by the minute. Just didn’t last long enough to really deeply water things. The…

Pretty morning. I sat perched in the swing eating my bagel and watching the squirrels and birds on the feeders. Fatty amazes me jumping from the oak tree to the feeder poles. Bet he’s jumping three feet or more. I saw an American goldfinch today. Don’t know why he’s hanging around. I read they are…

Walking Penelope this morning earlier than usual and I saw the moon was still up. He had stayed up later than usual partying with the twinkling stars. Mr. Waxing Gibbous Moon resembled a luminious celestial pearl, floating beautifully, hanging low in the dark blue sky canvas. I marveled at the different colors of white and…

Got a little rain today! Noticed a little greening on the grass so maybe it was a enough for some relief for things growing. We really need a good soaking rain. Today was so bright and blue and sunny. The sky had thin wispy clouds, pulling apart till they disappeared on the horizon. I perched…
