My yard has been full of birdies today. All kinds and all colors — goldfinches, purple finches, nuthatches, brown-headed cowbirds, wrens, sparrows, cardinals, downy woodpeckers, doves, and chickadees. And a big buzzard flew through the yard before heading high in the sky to the wind current staircase. I have been lollygagging in the swing all…

Trying to ponder on the porch this morning but the WIND…is ferocious. There are so many goldfinches on my bird feeders I just don’t want to go in the house. The sun has almost made it to the swing so I’m holding out for her warmth. The male crayon yellow goldfinches are so pretty riding…

The April winds are so blustery today. Pushed the swing around with me sitting in it! I sat outside mid-morning and just soaked in the glorious day. The earth is so beautiful the day after a storm. The blue sky is bluer and the white clouds are whiter, the new leaves of the trees greener…

Today has been a paint chart study of the color gray. I watched the overcast sky from my porch perch and marveled at all the colors that composed the sky today. The clouds were thin wisps this morning letting the warm blue of the morning sky peek through. As the day progressed Father Sky picked…

Had a busy morning, not much time to ponder till after lunch. I sat in the swing early afternoon and watched the birds and critters in my yard. The brown tailed squirrel has been chasing the doves all afternoon from the bottoms of the bird feeders. Either Fatty the squirrel has become road kill or…

Today was a glorious spring day complete with an eclipse. I sat perched on the porch swing eating my breakfast bagel and fruit and watched all the birds and squirrels starting their morning routine of eating all day. Unfortunately I think I have the same routine. Father Sky filled his blue sky canvas with large…

Today was another glorious day. Bright blue sky, lots of songbirds performing their arias outside my window. I’m waking up to a different view of the world this morning. I spent the night with my dearest friend in Alex City and we porch pondered till almost midnight. My bed was littered with birthday prizes and…

(Visiting a friend so from my archives…) Today has been another beautiful day with the winter blue sky I love. Ate my bagel on the porch this morning and watched the birds on the feeders. So happy to have sunshine yellow and sky blue pansies in my urns. Oldest brother came by for his daily…

Oh, today is just perfectly beautiful. The sky is a deep dark canvas of tropical ocean blue. The birds are singing loudly and the March kite flying winds are blowing the last of the catkins from the old oak tree. The bamboo are dancing in time to the wind chimes’ sonata. The goldfinches are flitting…

Today was a glorious spring day, dark blue sky with a few cotton boll clouds, a bright sunshine warming the landscape. The winds of March blew all day and made the bamboo dance and the wind chimes ping out loud symphonies. The wind was too cool for me so I pondered in the lady den.…
