Ponderings from the Porch Swing

Woke up to wrens trying to build a nest in my bedroom window. I could hear them scratching around. Didn’t move the curtain ‘cause I didn’t want to discourage them and their nest building. The window is right by my reading chair so I’ll have a great view. The sky is a dirty white T-shirt…

Today I woke early to the sun’s rays, crisp and clear, making dappled shadows through the bamboo on my bedside window pane. A bird chorus was warming up and a wren was the guest soloist with his loud “tweet.” The sky was azure blue. Just a few wispy clouds. I ate breakfast and lunch in…

Another day full of God’s blue cloudless sky and Mother Nature’s kite flying wind. The sun was bright and the greens of all the tree foliage were highlighted by the sun. The birds were singing and the trees were rustling with their new leaves. I was thinking this might have been the kind of day…

Today was such a gift. Beautiful dark blue sky with no clouds to mar the perfection of a clear sunny day. Mother Nature must be trying to fly a large kite. The wind is really blowing. My friend could hear the wind chimes while we were talking on the phone. I was in the house…

Beautiful, dark blue cloudless sky this morning. I’m back home porching and pondering in the swing. The wind is really playing a symphony on the wind chimes. The tree leaves and the brown magnolia are leaves dancing down the street. Got popcorn in my colander, Dr. Pepper with a blue straw, and Penelope is sleeping…

Love this blog written about our family’s cats. I’ll be back with a new blog on Tuesday. My mother strongly disliked cats. Actually I really think she hated them, when in all actuality, she was afraid of them. As a child crawling up the back porch steps, a pair of cats, fighting and growling, fell…

Another blog that I love. Today was filled with my grandchildren’s soccer games! Be back with new blogs soon. Another beautiful day today. Ate my breakfast, cinnamon roll and fruit, sitting in the swing, enjoying starting my day quietly. Gifted again today with the trademark blue sky I love. Not many clouds. Mainly cardinals and…

Publishing one of my favorite blogs again today. I’m visiting my oldest son and his family and adding some memories sprinkled with laughter to my life’s quilt. My grandchildren are quilting some squares on their quilts, too! Today was an absolutely beautiful day. The sky was a dark blue. Cold and crisp. I picked steel…

Going on an adventure tomorrow, might rerun some of my first blogs or might be inspired to write while I’m gone visiting my children for a few days. Gonna miss these beautiful birds who have stopped briefly in my yard. I’ve said it before but I don’t think anyone could paint as beautiful a bird…

From my archives… I was so enamored with the birds today that I did’t even notice the sky! I did notice I had to have on a sweater to sit on the swing. Then the sun would come back out and my sweater would come off. I peeped out the window this morning and saw…
