Father Sky filled his blue sky canvas with cirrus clouds today, thin and wispy layers making cloud feathers as they intercepted the jet contrails in the high sky. When we have cirrus clouds we usually have a beautiful sunset. I cooked a good supper tonight for Stew and me so being the “pig” I am,…

Today was so pretty with its cotton ball clouds and deep blue sky. The clouds, thin wisps rounded like pulled cotton, floated gracefully across the horizon like seeds from a dandelion. It was a little too cool and breezy for porch pondering. So many birds on the feeders. The cardinals kept finches off the side…

Got up with the miseries today. No reason or rhyme for it, just random feelings of sadness and loneliness. After I walked Penelope, I sat down in the swing and when the warm sunshine from the beautiful azure blue sky hit my face, my angst was immediately taken away. I sat in the swing like…

Today’s day was just so pretty and crisp in its winterness, robin egg blue sky, clear and cloudless. Father Sky didn’t use any of his pastel sticks to draw clouds, letting the blue sky canvas enjoy its unmarred blueness. I looked for the moon but he didn’t stay up too late today. My yard was…

Oldest brother brought the raccoon trap back this afternoon and I’ve baited it with two marshmallows. One of the raccoons climbed the bird feeder pole near the lady den window last night and emptied one of the feeders. Greased the bird feeder pole late afternoon so if he or she is out wandering around for…

Oldest brother took the second raccoon off to the farm this afternoon. Must have been a young raccoon ‘cause when I walked over to move the cage out of the rain this morning, it just uncurled and looked at me and went back to sleep. I knew I had caught another one when I heard…

Sat on the porch today and did some pondering while I watched the plethora of birds. Penelope was on squirrel duty in her play pen. The sky was heavily overcast but had a layer of wisps of smokey gray clouds floating fast across the sky, so thin I could see through them. I wondered if…

Today was the perfect day for a rainy day lover. I sat on the porch during the sprinkles and watched the birds fill the bird feeder perches. It came a downpour and I had to go in the house so I sat in the lady den and watched three cardinals, two males and one female,…

Found a young raccoon in my new trap cage this morning. The marshmallows were the perfect bait. This one was quiet and docile. I walked over to look at it and it just stared back. The last one I caught last summer would hiss and growl when I walked close to the cage. Penelope wanted…

Today was warm enough to do some porch pondering. Penelope enjoyed her porch time and I loved watching all the birds in the yard. The sky was overcast but the collection of cloud colors was so pretty. I’m almost out of bird seed so tomorrow will be a bird banquet of fresh seeds and suet.…
