You could not ask for a prettier day than this morning, dark azure blue sky crisscrossed with bright white jet contrails turning into huge feather clouds before dissipating. Intermittent cool wind pinging the wind chimes, making their tintinnabulations into a yard symphony. The feeders are full of birds, enjoying sunflower and thistle seeds and apple…

I love mornings like today. No plans, no agenda. I’m free to sit and enjoy the birds, the skyscape out the nine lady den windows, sitting happily and warmly under my pink cardinal blanket, Penelope curled up asleep in my lap. The wind is playing a boisterous symphony on the wind chimes and the bamboo…

Today is such a pretty day with its blue sky and white clouds. The clouds are floating on the cool breeze filling up with rain and changing colors to grays and blues and purples getting ready to do a little storming tonight. The blue sky canvas is azure and turquoise where it peeks through when…

Today was so pretty, clean blue sky blushed with thin wisps of frail white clouds, a wind strong and cool playing melodies on the wind chimes. My spend-the-night company and I sat in the lady den with our little puppy dogs and watched out the windows as the bamboo bent and twisted in the wind…

Such a beautiful day today in a myriad of ways!

Today was so pretty with bright sunshine to warm the Earth. Mother Nature kept the temperatures down but she burned the overcast vanilla sky off mid-day and I saw some pretty blue sky. I love to watch the sky transform during the day. The myriad of colors that shade the sky are so vivid and…

Today was a winterscape day. The cold windy overcast melted vanilla sky was thick and full of fresh coconut colored clouds and they kept the sun hidden all day. We had a misty rain late afternoon. I went outsider and imagined the mist was sleet, hoping to see a few snow flakes but the rain…

Beautiful day, blue sky, a few fingertip blurred clouds where Father Sky dragged his finger across the white lines he drew on his blue sky canvas. His clouds fanned out and resembled fluffy down feathers as they melted away. A thin layer of clouds came back around sunset and Mother Nature painted them in cotton…

First quote of the day, “Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day,” Mark Twain. That’s great, I love that! Made me think about a story Chief loved to tell our children. He and a friend were at a restaurant once and…
