A ramble on the first day of spring
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…

Our world needs a lesson on respect
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…

Our lives are like quilts
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…

Letters in the mailbox
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…

Memories take us to special places
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…

Just a splash of color
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…

I will sit with you in the dark
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.…

Love as long as you live
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…

Look for the message in your mess
Today was all kinds of weather days wrapped up in one day. Cool, rainy, cloudy, windy, sunny, warm, misty, clear. Guess Mother Nature was getting all her ducks in a row to spin her roulette wheel in the direction of winter for the next few nights. The grass is getting greener every day. Gonna need…

Through the clouds to heaven
Walked Penelope before breakfast this morning. Beautiful sky, looked like God took his white pastel stick and dragged it a few times across his blue sky canvas. The wind was a little nippy but Mother Nature cranked up the sun and the day turned out perfect. Ever waked up and immediately smiled knowing the day…
