Today I’ve been sitting in the swing, when the winds calmed down, thinking about how happy I am to be at home. Didn’t want to live here without Chief because he was my home but I’m beginning to feel like I’m home. I grew up in this house with three brothers and considered it home…

Been pondering in the porch swing and shedding tears today for the families of the children killed in the mass shooting during a 16th birthday party in Dadeville. You never think this kind of violence would invade a small town but Saturday night gun violence changed the lives of the town forever. As I write…

Such a beautiful day. Blue sky with grayish clouds mixed with white washed clouds. A loud bird symphony is playing in my yard. I love listening! My goldfinches are all over the feeders, singing and flittering around. Downy, the little woodpecker, has really been eating the suet. I put him a new block of suet…

Took Penelope for a walk this morning and the sky was so beautiful. Dark blue sky with rain clouds boiling up. Never seen such a beautiful color in the clouds, almost an eggplant purple. We came in and the rain boiled out of the clouds in a heavy downpour. Made me sad in a deep…

Rainy day this morning. White dingy T-shirt colored sky with Mother Nature spitting rain out. Tried to sit outside this morning and eat breakfast but it was just too cool and damp. On the way to the porch one of my bagel halves slid off the plate and landed cream cheese side up on the…

Another wondrous day. The sky is dark blue, matches the color chart perfectly with the blue color named sky. I think God has lost his white pastel. He hasn’t swiped it across the sky these last two days and drawn any clouds. I have the most beautiful bird symphony playing now. All kinds of happy…

Today was another beautiful deep, blue sky day. Never saw a cloud. Noticed the Lord is using his tortillon to blend his green colors closely now. Can’t count as many different greens in the landscape. Ate my breakfast in the porch swing and enjoyed watching the birds on the feeders. My yard was mowed yesterday…

Been on the porch in the swing this morning eating breakfast and enjoying this beautiful blue sky full of cotton boll clouds. Filled the bird feeders up early and lots of them are half empty now. Those goldfinches are serious about their seeds. The yard is full of birds and their symphony is lovely. I…

Beautiful Easter Sunday. The birds enjoyed the sunshine, so did I. Ashamed I didn’t go to church today. Just wasn’t up for it. Another holiday without Chief and Rosie. I bet Easter Sunday in heaven is glorious. Bet the flowers are beautiful and the birds are singing. I pray all my family up there are…

Stood in the kitchen this morning watching through the side door and marveling at the goldfinches perched on the bird feeders. Cold and damp, with rain pouring down, and God’s little song birds were flitting and flirting around the feeders just like they do on sun filled days. Today’s sky is T-shirt gray, spitting rain…
