Been a hot and humid day, summertime in the South. Don’t know about y’all but I’d like for some rain to head our way. I know I’m always complaining about technology but I do enjoy using the weather app AccuWeather and it says three percent chance for tomorrow so guess we can forget about rain…

Got up this morning and took Penelope for her first walk of the day. As I walked out on the porch I noticed a big puddle of water on the side of the sidewalk. I thought at first, “Yeah, we had a rain last night so I can wait a day before I break out…

Had a darling little house guest today. Always enjoy spending time with the young ones in our family. We played video games and went swimming with cousins at baby brother’s pool, visited the Golden Arches for lunch. It was a fun, happy day, full of laughter and popcorn and popsicles. The joy of childhood is…

I’m sitting on the porch this Sunday morning enjoying the beauty of another day on God’s green Earth. The sun is so bright, the sky so blue, the clouds so white. I can’t help but think of the Bible verse in Psalms 118:24, “This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and…

The porch swing pondering is just marvelous today, darlings! You have to read the word marvelous with a long drawn out southern drawl. The Lord knew I needed some porch time today. It’s a cool 72 degrees with a delightful breeze! I’m loving it! The wind chimes are striking up a morning sonata and the…

Didn’t do any pondering on the porch today. I still don’t feel up to snuff and just couldn’t take the heat. Decided to declare today an official lazy day and just vegetate. Didn’t sleep well so I actually took a nap which is unusual. Would love to have a lazy day in the swing but…

Pondering in the swing this morning. The sky is milky white. No blue sky, no fluffy clouds kissed by the sun. Read humidity can affect the color of the sky. Can’t say it’s not humid today! The sun is so bright. Almost hurts your eyes to look up at the sky. Once the cloud cover…

Enjoyed the porch this morning. Actually ate three ears of boiled corn from middle vet brother’s garden for breakfast. It was delicious! Almost as good as the corn Daddy used to grow. Hasn’t killed me yet so guess I’m on the mend. Didn’t have any clouds to watch changing shapes. The sky was overcast. Always…

Went outside this morning and sat in the swing for a little while. Still don’t feel well and the heat and humidity were just to much. Did notice, though, the beautiful sunny sky and the fluffy bleached white clouds courtesy of Father Sky. Saw a beautiful little purple finch drinking and bathing in the bird…

Been sick with a stomach virus and fever. Can’t even hold my head up. Don’t feel like pondering in the swing today. Gonna leave y’all with a blessing I love to read. Apache Blessing May the sun bring you new energy by day, may the moon softly restore you by night, may the rain wash…
