Ate my breakfast, toast with cherry jam and bacon, perched in the swing this morning, my hot coffee resting in a cup a holder fastened on the red swing slats. The sky is overcast with dark gray clouds hiding the blue sky canvas. Two squirrels are playing chase around the trunk of a large oak…

Did lots of cloud watching this morning and afternoon. I have become a nephophilia, a big word for a cloud watcher. The sky today was a marble slab. I immediately thought of a marble counter top in a beautiful modern kitchen, featured in an architectural magazine, so pretty with the different rivers of blue and…

Today was such a beautiful Sunday. The sky was colored robin egg blue and the clouds were hiding away gathering for their afternoon stroll onto the horizon hoping Mother Nature would dress them in a colorful pageant gown for sunset. She didn’t disappoint, dressing every cloud and the horizon in her favorite peach and pink…

Ate breakfast on the porch this morning perched comfortably in the red porch swing watching a male yellow American goldfinch flit around the feeders. He’s so handsome in his bright yellow plumage and shiny black wings. I saw a few female goldfinches yesterday, beautiful in their muted cinnamon and honey colored feathers. The breeze is…

This morning was so pretty and so fallish. “It was a beautiful autumn day with air like cider and a sky so blue you could drown in it,” Diana Gabaldan. Wish I written that description of a fall day. Fits today perfectly. I’ve been on the porch all day being lazy. Moving from swing to…

Trying to describe today and the perfect word is sunshiney! The robin egg blue sky and the puffy clouds, gathering together outlined in grays and blues, are so pretty. They yard is quiet, not many birds this morning. I was watching the wind shake the trees behind a house down the street. Was just like…

Pretty fall morning today but it was back to summer time by mid-day. The sky was azure blue and the sun bleached a sky full of fluffy white clouds. I ate my bagel watching all the purple finches, doves, titmice, cardinals, and chickadees flitting around doing what birds do. The loud squawking blue jays came…

Another glorious morning. Dark blue sky, fall sunshine, warm and bright. Cooked a regular breakfast this morning, put wild cherry jam, from the Blue Ridge mountains in Georgia, on my toast and sat at my bird desk with my breakfast and cup of hot coffee. Love my coffee hot in the mornings and sometimes I…

Ate breakfast perched in the swing this morning in 62 degree weather. Felt like fall had arrived. My feet were freezing when they touched the cold red tile on the porch floor. Placed my hot coffee in the cup holder fastened to the swing slats and put my feet up in the swing to get…

Breakfast this morning is a frozen waffle with some syrup, a piece or two of cheese and a few pieces of canteloupe. I’m sitting in the porch swing, hot coffee in my cup holder, counting my blessings and giving thanks for another day on this planet. I’m looking at a perfectly beautiful Sunday morning on…
