Ponderings from the Porch Swing

Had a busy day but not so busy I didn’t notice the beautiful deep blue fall sky. Took oldest sister-in-law to Franklin, Georgia, to watch the Heard County High School homecoming parade. Her grandson is on the football team and her daughter is a cheerleader coach. The drive to Franklin was so pretty. The trees…

Some dear family friends stopped by this afternoon. We haven’t seen each other in many years but we took right back up like we’d never been apart. Enjoyed their porch visit so much! Sad that some of us don’t see out of town family and friends except at weddings and funerals. The world just spins…

Was a cool morning today under a deep blue sky, cloud free. So glad I shut all the windows last night. It was 39 degrees this morning and once these old plaster walls get cold it takes a while to warm the house back up. I won’t be turning on my gas guzzling furnace till…

The sky is as blue as a robin’s eggs this morning, the wind whispers of cooler days, the clouds are stacked on top of each other in grays and blues and purples, their crowns kissed bright white by the sun. The leaves are loosening their holds on the old oaks’ branches, putting on their cardigans…

Today was a perfect porch pondering day. The azure blue sky was dotted with clean white cotton boll clouds slowly moving across the horizon, some of the cloud’s bellies cigar smoke gray with moisture. Rain is in the forecast for tomorrow. I hope it comes to fruition. The breeze was light enough for the wind…

Today was a beautiful fall day with blue cloudless sky, warm amber sunshine. My yard is full of beautiful songbirds and bold colored butterflies. The red maple tree up the street is being touched on its crown by Mother Nature’s watercolor brushes, displaying herself in reds and oranges, getting ready to dress up for autumn’s…

Another ocean blue sky day, but the moon’s not peeking out. He’s got his days and nights straightened out. Sat in the swing this morning eating a late breakfast, watching the birds frolic around the bird feeders. The day is beautiful but the earth is parched, needing a good soaking rain. My friend sent me…

Today was an “I see the moon and the moon sees me” kind of day…so “God bless the moon and God bless me.” The sky was as deep blue as a tropical ocean. The quarter moon was floating high in the blue heavens like a kite on a string being held aloft by an ocean…

Today is perfectly beautiful. The sun’s rays are are so clear and so bright you can see the yellow beams streaming down through the magnolias and old oaks. The sky is deep blue, cloudless, punctuated by Mr. Half Moon. He’s staying up late again, hanging high, watching the world spin on this glorious morning. I…

Anybody collect something? The earliest thing I can remember collecting are Barbie doll shoes. I had pill bottles full of the little shoes, all high heels, myriads of colors. Guess Barbie’s boy friend Ken only had the pair of shoes he arrived wearing. I can’t remember playing with anything but the shoes. Pouring them out…
