Ponderings from the Porch Swing

Father Sky sketched a beautiful azure blue sky for the grandchildren’s soccer games today. Riding the cold brisk winds over the soccer fields were 12 vultures, two hawks, and four Canadian geese. A flock of goldfinches graced us with their presence and flew across the fluffy clouded sky after chattering in the trees behind us.…

Today was so pretty. Azure blue sky, white fluffy clouds, kissed on their crowns by the sun’s rays. Missed the sunset but the sun was a beautifully colored ripe peach resting on the horizon in a pale cranberry twilight as the sunset began. Father Sky woke the moon in the cold clear black velvet of…

Pondering on the back porch at my oldest son’s home in Peachtree City. The drive up was so pleasant and so pretty this morning. Father Sky had sketched a blue sky canvas and filled it with luminous angel feather clouds. Occasionally the feathers would blow away and I could see the sky’s sun kissed azure.…

Did porch pondering in the porch swing today and it was so marvelous darlings. The sky was light blue, cloudless I thought, till I leaned back in the swing and realized Father Sky had lightly stroked his white pastel all over the sky canvas. The clouds were as thin as an exquisite gossamer veil on…

Another wondrous day the Lord hath made, porch pondering perfect. The sky was baby blue, not the dark azure of yesterday, and Father Sun had sketched all kinds of clouds in the sky, all shapes and sizes, all bleached white, kissed by the sun, leisurely sailing along on the blue sky canvas. The sun was…

The sky was so blue today, so pretty and so clean. Nothing to be seen in the heavens till a wake of buzzards came to ride the wind currents. Penelope watched the buzzards’ shadows as they sailed across the sidewalks, the houses and the wall across the street. She was intrigued. The buzzards are magnificent…

Today was a beautiful day but too chilly for porch pondering. I was walking Penelope on her first walk and stopped long enough to really study the sky. Father Sky had picked up some different colored pastels today and swiped them across his sky canvas. I think he’s been studying watercolor painting with Mother Nature.…

Spent the day in Alexander City visiting Chief’s sister and picking up some things from our house there. Drove down the highway under a cold overcast sky of cigar and cigarette smoke colored clouds. Occasionally the clouds parted and I could see the blue tint of the sky canvas. Two sluggish vultures, their bellies full…

Sat out on the porch today pondering on my changing world and watching the sun get covered by thick overcast clouds. The birds were singing happily and the wind chimes were playing a soft winter melody and pow!, Mr. Kestrel snatches a goldfinch in his talons, right off the feeder. This time he sat in…

Another pretty day today, azure blue sky, lots of thin clouds dancing across the sky, changing shapes as fast as they formed. One cloud looked just like a long white fishing boat carrying a man and his dog across the blue sky water. The buzzards were back today circling our neighborhood, high in the sky,…
