Ponderings from the Porch Swing

Today was perfectly beautiful with a little forecast of the coming winter temperatures. Never seen the sky so blue and so perfectly cloudless. Not even one vulture or crow circling to mar the blue sky canvas. The yard was so quiet and the wind chimes were pinging a one note Big Ben bong, counting off…

I’ve loved this wondrous Tuesday! The blue sky with the white clouds, the song birds singing, the yellow and brown leaves pirouetting to the ground from the oak tree limbs. The clouds are moving fast across the sky, changing shapes and joining hands together. My porch pondering was done in a sweater today. The fall…

Oh, man, what a beautiful day today. I could hear James Brown singing, “I feel good,” when I sat down in the swing to eat my breakfast. The sky was dark blue, full of fluffy bleached white clouds. The wind was softly tickling the wind chimes, pinging out individual notes for the morning’s quiet yard…

Today was so pretty and so pleasant for porch sitting and swing pondering. I watched the birds and the butterflies enjoying the feeders and flowers and the warm yellow sunshine on this beautiful blue sky Sunday that God created. I spent the day doing absolutely nothing but enjoying being on the porch. After supper I…

The big water oak in my yard is shedding his brown leaves and covering my yard with his ballerinas. I love to watch the leaves spiraling down when the wind blows. It’s like a beautiful choreographed ballet performance. I call it Tchaikovsky’s Leaf Lake. The acorn bombs are beginning to fall from the branches when…

Went to the Farmer’s Market in Lagrange, GA, this morning. Such a pretty drive. The trees on the sides of the highway were dancing in the sun that was beaming down through the beautiful fall leaves. Made me think of a child’s kaleidoscope turning round and round with nature’s earth colors in wondrous patterns. The…

Another glorious fall day today, blue skies and puffy white clouds, perfect for porch pondering. It was hot, too, in mid-afternoon. I sat in the swing for several hours eating my breakfast and watching the birds and the butterflies frolic around the yard. The eastern blue birds that never cross the street came over ands…

Drove into the most glorious sky on the way home from Peachtree City this morning. I felt like I was driving the road to heaven. The sky was filled with rolling clouds, bleached white on their tops, lightly washed purple on the bottoms, rolled up like Mother Nature was wringing the shades of color out…

Drove up to see the grandchildren today. The drive was so pretty, clear blue sky, just a few wisps of white cotton candy clouds. The trees are getting dressed in their colorful fall cardigans and they made me think of all the shades of yellows and oranges and reds in a big box of Crayola…

Today is perfectly wonderful in its impression of fall. Mother Nature and Father Sky have been playing with the clouds all day. I’ve perched here in the swing and marveled as I’ve watched the clouds change and morph into different cloud types and differences shapes. Saw a huge cloud that was a perfect rendering of…
