Still visiting the grandchildren and I’ve been in grandmother heaven since Tuesday! On the way to their schools this morning we saw beautiful purple and pink clouds dressing up the sky as the sun rose up in a blazing yellow ball gown to light the morning’s sky. Two large V’s of Canadian geese, their wings…

Busy day today with my son’s family, so I’m rerunning an old blog again. Handley has her choir concert tonight and we’re celebrating Alexander’s 14th birthday. I remember the day he was born, all four grandparents anxiously waiting at the hospital in Birmingham for our first granchild’s arrival. Now 14 years have passed with this…

Drove up to Peachtree City yesterday to visit my oldest son and his family. My grandsons had their Christmas band concerts last night and I’m looking forward to my granddaughter Handley’s choir concert, Emerson’s basketball game, and celebrating Alexander’s 14th birthday this week. Lots of activities to make some wonderful memories with the grandchildren. We…

Rerunning an old blog so I can enjoy every moment with the grandchildren today. Motored home from Peachtree City facing a sky canvas of gray repose colored clouds dripping rain at a steady pace. Made me sad for a few moments replaying all the memories with the grandchildren that Chief missed out on. But with…

Today has featured the bluest sky I think I’ve ever seen, cloudless with warm, clear bright sunshine. Been porch pondering in the swing watching the birds. I filled up the feeders and hung two bird cakes on a feeder pole. The chubby wren that serenades his bride from the porch bannisters loves the bird cakes.…

Did lots of porch pondering today. Another wondrous day, blue sky and lots of interesting clouds to watch meld together and change shapes. I sat in the swing for a long time. Penelope napped in the play pen. Lots of cardinals and chickadees and finches on the bird feeders. Several squirrels frolicking up and down…

Today has been so beautiful in so many different ways. Left early this morning to visit my dearest friend for a day of thrift store shopping. When I crossed the Tallapoosa River bridge in Wadley, the morning mist was tap dancing across the murky water of the river, the gray fog against the cloudy water…

Sitting in the porch swing today. The day is like a spring day instead of a fall day, the temperature warming up all afternoon. Penelope and I sat on the porch and pondered on life and watched the birds and squirrels frolic. The chipmunks seem to be gone. Hope raccoons don’t eat them. Yeah, they…

Sat on the porch for a long time today. The air was cool but the day so pretty. Penelope, in her turquoise rose sweater, slept under her colorful fox blanket in the play pen. The sky was in layers, thick and white on the top and bottom, perfectly straight, with a turquoise hued horizon in…

Missed the sunset pageant tonight but when I walked Penelope at the evening’s gloaming I saw Mother Nature’s watercolors brushed across the horizon, thin strokes of pale orange, raspberry, and lemon. Made me think of a crystal compote of rainbow sherbet on a beautiful dessert plate, molasses lace cookies, an engraved sterling silver ice cream…
