Ponderings from the Porch Swing

Did lots of porch pondering today. Another wondrous day, blue sky and lots of interesting clouds to watch meld together and change shapes. I sat in the swing for a long time. Penelope napped in the play pen. Lots of cardinals and chickadees and finches on the bird feeders. Several squirrels frolicking up and down…

Today has been so beautiful in so many different ways. Left early this morning to visit my dearest friend for a day of thrift store shopping. When I crossed the Tallapoosa River bridge in Wadley, the morning mist was tap dancing across the murky water of the river, the gray fog against the cloudy water…

Sitting in the porch swing today. The day is like a spring day instead of a fall day, the temperature warming up all afternoon. Penelope and I sat on the porch and pondered on life and watched the birds and squirrels frolic. The chipmunks seem to be gone. Hope raccoons don’t eat them. Yeah, they…

Sat on the porch for a long time today. The air was cool but the day so pretty. Penelope, in her turquoise rose sweater, slept under her colorful fox blanket in the play pen. The sky was in layers, thick and white on the top and bottom, perfectly straight, with a turquoise hued horizon in…

Missed the sunset pageant tonight but when I walked Penelope at the evening’s gloaming I saw Mother Nature’s watercolors brushed across the horizon, thin strokes of pale orange, raspberry, and lemon. Made me think of a crystal compote of rainbow sherbet on a beautiful dessert plate, molasses lace cookies, an engraved sterling silver ice cream…

Beautiful day to be alive and spending the day on Mother Earth. The sky is azure blue, clear and cloudless. Mother Nature is blowing a cool breeze, the wind chimes pounding out a fall symphony, the bird feeders full of purple finches and crimson and fawn-brown cardinals. The little wren, his chest pumped out with…

Did some Christmas shopping today and purchased myself a one piece suit of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer patterned pajamas. They have a little Rudolph hood with the red nose. My son’s reaction was priceless when I walked in the kitchen dressed in the pajamas with the hood on. He said, “Do you need constant…

Was so busy today Christmas decorating The Gran, the name I call my family home, that I forgot to watch the sunset. Those sunsets are the highlight of my day. Cooked super between putting song bird ornaments and Christmas balls on a garland I was creating on the dining room mantle and time just slipped…

Pondered on the porch this morning sitting in the swing, warm sun on my face, watching the song birds and frisky squirrels. Father Sky had filled his azure blue sky canvas with lots of feather shaped clouds. Looked like angel wing feathers floating down from heaven. The thin and wispy feather clouds didn’t last long…

Porch pondered in the porch swing today after overcoming my Thanksgiving food coma! Beautiful day, a little cool, bright azure sky with wispy clouds. Father Sky had scratched his white pastel stick across his blue sky canvas and blurred the lines. I could see blue sky through the thin clouds. The warm sunshine warmed my…
