Ponderings from the Porch Swing

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…

Another beautiful blue sky Monday. Fall is right on the cusp of breaking out in her colored leaves and cool breezes. I’m already wearing one of my cardigans.

Today was a pale blue sky day with a pale white cloud cover. The sky turned overcast in the afternoon and was marbled with gray clouds and blue sky peeks. The birds were enjoying the bird baths and the feeders this morning. The yard was so quiet I could hear the bird bath fountains bubbling.…

Been sleeping with the windows open and last night the crickets sang the most beautiful soft choral. The train whistle’s lonely echoes answered each other, the steel wheels of the trains kept time with the music, their clicks and clacks pounding a beat, as the train traveled through the darkness. A lonely mocking bird sang…
