Ponderings from the Porch Swing

Porch perched and pondered this morning watching the finches and cardinals flitting around enjoying the bird feeders. I have a new critter in my yard, not sure what it is, maybe a deer. My youngest son watched a deer lick the seeds from a feeder late at night several weeks ago but this critter is…

The sun feels so good this early morning. I’m walking Penelope down the sidewalk, cool in the shade of the old oaks but when I step from the shade to the sun, instantly I feel the wonderful warmth of the golden rays. God did well when he gifted us the yellow sun, hung high in…

Enjoyed the day perched in the porch swing watching the handsome cardinals on the bird feeders. The males bright red coats contrast so beautifully with the fawn brown, light orange fall sweaters of their meek mates. I’m watching a pair of the cardinals riding a carnival ride on a dead purple polk salad branch swinging…

The overcast sky is so beautiful right before dusk. Father Sky has layered his folded clouds in grays and purples and vanillas, so pretty and fluffy looking, each cloud resting on top of another. When it came time for the pageant of sunset, Mother Nature only had a small window of blue sky canvas to…

Another cool fall day with glorious yellow sunshine and deep blue sky. Warmed up enough for me to do some porch swing perching and bird watching this afternoon. Filled the bird feeders up rolling around in the yard on my carpet of acorns. Fatty has a lot of acorns to stash away. I washed the…

Drove home from Peachtree City this morning under a glorious fall sky. When I rode the through Rock Mills a line of fall brown sweet gum leaves blowing across the street were traveling like ducklings following behind their mother. I slowed down and watched the duckling leaves make their way to the other side of…

You could not ask for a prettier day than this morning, dark azure sky crisscrossed with bright white jet contrails turning into huge feather clouds before dissipating. Intermittent cool breezes pinging the wind chimes, making their tintinnabulations into a yard symphony. The feeders are full of birds, enjoying sunflower and thistle seeds and apple suet…

I have become so enamored with the sky and the clouds. I sat in the swing and watched the dark blue sky all day. Hard to think I never gave the sky and clouds a thought but sitting in a swing and watching them daily, I’ve begun to marvel at how beautiful they are. Even…

Father Sky and Mother Nature collaborated together today and created another glorious fall day, warm bright sunshine, cotton boll clouds floating around the azure blue sky canvas, melding together and crowding each other. Some of the clouds were softly brushed on their bellies with light gray but not colored dark enough to spill some rain.…

The man in the moon was still up when I walked Penelope this morning. I’ve enjoyed looking for him in the mornings, dressed in his pale luminous pajamas. Can’t find him some nights, though. Today was so delightfully fall. Blue sky, clear and cloudless as far as the eye could see. Guess Father Sky decided…
