Ponderings from the Porch Swing

Today was such a pretty day. Look up the definition of a fall day and you’ll see a photo of today. The blue sky of fall is so glorious when filled with pure white puffy clouds. Always makes me think of the skies in the picture books I read my children. I ate my breakfast,…

Today was a perfect porch pondering day. The clear blue sky was dotted with clean white cotton boll clouds slowly moving across the horizon. The breeze was light enough for the wind chimes’ paddles to ping one note at a time and the yard symphony played out quiet and relaxing. The birds were singing, eating…

Such a pretty day, bright blue sky, blinding bright sunshine. Cool, brisk fall breezes pinging the wind chime pipes, their tintinnabulations composing a fall symphony. I’m sitting in the sunshine out in the yard ensconced in my purple chair. It’s too cool to ponder in the shade in the porch swing. I can hear the…

Guess I’m feeling my age but it was too cool to sit in the swing and ponder today. I went to the lady den and watched my world through the room’s nine windows.

It’s too damp and too many rain sprinkles for pondering from the porch swing today. I usually sit in the swing each morning, lot of days eating my breakfast, while Penelope snorts around a minute on the porch, but my cushions were too wet to sit today. I took Penelope out for her walk and…

Sat on the porch late afternoon in a cool rain enjoying the soft lullaby of the raindrops hitting the trees in the yard. The bamboos are wet leaning over as in a prayers of thanksgiving for the rain. Needed a sweater but I was so content, I didn’t want to get up out of the…
