Ponderings from the Porch Swing

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…

Spring has definitely sprung with today’s blue sky and fluffy clouds. Had a desire to plant a few veggie plants but knew the next few nights would be too cold. The yard symphony was drowned out by the modern day lawn mowers and leaf blowers. Was glad when all the yard work was done up…

Goldfinches have taken over the feeders today. Saw a nuthatch and a few cardinals. It’s an overcast day with a nice breeze. Wind chimes are just humming and not banging out their tunes. The sun is playing hide and seek with the streams of thin fluffy clouds. I think it’s going to be hot when…

Another beautiful day the Lord has made! Hot summer time day. The mailman put someone else’s newspaper in my box and I worked up a sweat walking three houses down to put the paper in the correct mailbox. Even the breeze is warm today. The song birds are all happily singing and flitting around the…

Back in the swing with my bagel this morning. Penelope is on snake patrol if she can stay awake. That dog sleeps her life away. Wish I could record the bird symphony today. So loud and pretty. Sounds like happiness. Claude Monet said, “I would like to paint the way a bird sings.” That’s my…

Today I’m waking up to a different view out my window. The sky is denim blue. God hasn’t rubbed his white pastels across his sky canvas. The sun is bright and clear and warm. I hear a bird symphony out the double doors. I’m ensconced on a tall antique bed. Had to have a little…

Today is my 67th birthday and I’m having the best time with my best friend. I’m spending the night with her in Alexander City. We hit the high dollar thrift stores on the lake this morning and ate out for lunch and she cooked a delicious supper and we had birthday cake. She has a…

Beautiful blue sky today which turned into beautiful cloudy sky by afternoon. When the sun peeked out of the clouds at different times it was really hot. I noticed my face and feet have a sun tan from sitting in the swing. I call it my bird watching tan. The clouds are beginning to fill…

Today has a beautiful baby blue sky. The Lord scratched his white pastel stick across the sky canvas in a few places and drew some long slender clouds. Mother Nature added a every now and then cool breeze. My yard is absolutely full of goldfinches and cardinals. Their symphony is so pretty and relaxing. No…
