Ponderings from the Porch Swing

Today is so pretty with its blue sky and bright warm sunshine. I’m enjoying pondering in the swing. The sky is full of rounded, bleached white, fluffy clouds, the kinds of clouds we drew on our art paper as children. A few of the clouds are gathering rain getting ready to water the Earth on…

The sky is so, so beautiful this morning, robin egg blue, covered in places with crisp white mackerel scale clouds slowly floating and spreading their scales across the horizon. My yard is swarming with birds. I’m sitting in the swing pondering and watching the little chickadees and titmice on a feeder closest to the porch.…

Another cool December day, but beautiful in its understated colors. The sky looks like a big bowl of melted vanilla ice cream with a little chocolate syrup and a little blueberry syrup all swirled together on the sky canvas. I’m looking forward to seeing what Mother Nature will paint on this canvas at sun set.…

Beautiful day, blue sky, white clouds riding low on the horizon, wisp clouds stretching out in the high sky. Sat in the swing mid afternoon when the sun had warmed up the day. Penelope sat in her play pen shivering till she burrowed under her fox and owl blanket. I was comfortable in my feeted…

Father Sky painted his sky canvas a glorious azure blue this morning and sketched some feather clouds with his white pastel sticks. Mother Nature dialed her temperature back down and put a nip in the blustery wind, feathering the feather clouds, stretching them across the horizon. My hands froze while I filled the bird feeders.…

Another beautiful day the Lord hath made and I’m grateful to be alive and experience it. Clear happy blue sky, cloudless as far as I could see. I picked up Penelope from vet brother’s clinic and we went on a long walk when we got home. She had to sniff every inch of the yard.…

Another overcast vanilla sky today. I searched the sky for various shades of color and saw some different layers of vanilla-gray tones. I watched my grandchildren motor away early afternoon and as their car pulled away from the curb a small patch of blue sky opened and I thought to myself, Chief and Rosie are…

Well, we had our family Christmas dinner tonight with delicious food and lots of laughter. The children were so happy and full of Christmas excitement. It’s been another beautiful day. Was too excited myself to gaze at the sunset. I don’t even know what kind of sky canvas Father Sky painted today but I know…

Drove to LaGrange today to buy shrimp for our Christmas dinner tomorrow. The sun kissed my face all the way over to Georgia, warming me cheek like a sun burn. The morning was beautiful, just a picture of blue sky, lot of little flocks of birds flying from one side of the road to the…

Today was a busy, blue sky day. When I walked Penelope for her first walk I noticed the sky was the color of Feltmon Brothers’ baby clothes. So pretty in light blue, a thin layer of pastel white clouds drifting slowly across the horizon. I sat in the swing and pondered on all my chores…
