  • Gratitude brings joy…

    Went to the Farmer’s Market in Lagrange, GA, this morning. Such a pretty drive. The trees on the sides of the highway were dancing in the sun that was beaming down through the beautiful fall leaves. Made me think of a child’s kaleidoscope turning round and round with nature’s earth colors in wondrous patterns. The…

  • We are God’s crayons…

    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 ands…

  • Be a beacon of light…

    Drove into the most glorious sky on the way home from Peachtree City this morning. I felt like I was driving the road to heaven. The sky was filled with rolling clouds, bleached white on their tops, lightly washed purple on the bottoms, rolled up like Mother Nature was wringing the shades of color out…

  • Harmonies in the music of life…

    Drove up to see the grandchildren today. The drive was so pretty, clear blue sky, just a few wisps of white cotton candy clouds. The trees are getting dressed in their colorful fall cardigans and they made me think of all the shades of yellows and oranges and reds in a big box of Crayola…

  • If clouds are blocking the sun…

    Today is perfectly wonderful in its impression of fall. Mother Nature and Father Sky have been playing with the clouds all day. I’ve perched here in the swing and marveled as I’ve watched the clouds change and morph into different cloud types and differences shapes. Saw a huge cloud that was a perfect rendering of…

  • Life is the train, not the station…

    The day was so pretty today. The azure fall sky had a few wisps of cotton candy clouds, thin white wisps that quickly changed shapes and melted away. I was hoping they would hang around till sunset so Mother Nature could change their colors. When she tints the cotton candy clouds pink they are perfectly…

  • Live simply, live generously…

    Today has been another beautiful fall day with blue sky and bleached white clouds. The birds have been scarce but the butterflies are all over the yard. I’ve seen cloudless sulphur butterflies, sharing zinnia blooms with the majestic tap dancing monarchs, and little yellow skippers and black swallowtails feeding on the fading blooms of the…

  • “Are you crazy?…”

    Spent most of the day outside sitting in the swings. The sky was perfectly beautiful, dark blue, full of fat fluffy clouds, some carrying rain in their bellies. No rain here but an occasional brisk wind battered the wind chimes, pounding out loud symphonies. Just a beautiful day all around. Lots of birds and butterflies.…

  • I pray to the birds…

    Today was such a pretty day. Look up the definition of a fall day and you’ll see a photo of today. The blue sky of fall is so glorious when filled with pure white puffy clouds. Always makes me think of the skies in the picture books I read my children. I ate my breakfast,…

  • Our time on earth is limited…

    Today was a perfect porch pondering day. The clear blue sky was dotted with clean white cotton boll clouds slowly moving across the horizon. The breeze was light enough for the wind chimes’ paddles to ping one note at a time and the yard symphony played out quiet and relaxing. The birds were singing, eating…
