Ponderings from the Porch Swing

Another beautiful day with blue skies and lots of bird songs. Got hot, too. Hate to complain of the heat this early in the season. Sun ran me out of both swings and into a chair that was in the shade. Had to move Penelope’s pen in the shade, too. She’s been after the fat…

Sat outside the WHOLE day today. Loved every minute of it. That’s the beauty of retirement to me. No agenda, just let the day plan itself. Love laying my head on the pillow at night time and knowing tomorrow is anything I want it to be. Ate breakfast and lunch in the swing. Watched the…

Sat outside in the yard in my purple chair for a long time today. My grass had its first mowing this morning and the air was full of birds chirping and squabbling around the feeders. So pleasant to be sitting in the sunshine, reading the newspaper on this first day of spring. Penelope enjoyed her…

Sat outside this afternoon. The sun was warm on my face in the swing. Penelope took a siesta in her playpen. The sky was a pretty clear blue. Just a few pastel stick swipes of white clouds. The gluttonous, beautiful goldfinches are cleaning out the feeders as fast as I fill them up. I don’t…

Today was an absolutely beautiful day. The sky was a dark blue. Cold and crisp. I picked steel from the color chart for today’s blue color. No clouds till late afternoon. All the trees have almost leafed out so that changed my horizon view, no dark branchy shapes of the trees during the sunset. Sat…

Didn’t notice the sky today. It was cold and cloudy gray each time I took Penelope out for her walks. Did notice the turkey buzzards are back. Six of them were circling up high on the wind currents and casting their shadows on my yard. Their shadows made me think of silent wind chimes. The…

Beautiful blue sky this morning. Looked at the paint chart and decide it was cerulean blue. Probably qualifies as sky blue but that’s not an exciting descriptive color. Working on learning new color words. Did lots of porch pondering today but dictated nothing. Just sat and watched the sky change colors and the song birds…

The Lord blessed us with another beautiful day. Blue, clear sky with a cool March wind. Chose sapphire blue for the sky color today. No wispy clouds to mar the skyline. Sat down on the porch several times just long enough for Penelope to do her sniffing around the porch and yard. Was just too…

Such a beautiful day today! The sky was almost cornflower blue. Not a cloud in sight when I walked Penelope. It was chilly and the wind was fierce at times. The cardinals and finches were flitting around the feeders. I love all the seasons but I like them to be true to their time frames.…

Beautiful blue sky today. Just a few swipes of thin white clouds. The March winds are blowing this afternoon. Mother Nature is turning the thermostat down, too. If the winds keep blowing it’s gonna get chilly. Been outside several times trying to sit in the porch swing but the wind is just too stout. Think…
