Ponderings from the Porch Swing

This is the day which the Lord has made, a perfectly beautiful Sunday. The Lord and Father Sky have created a picture perfect definition of a day of fall — dark blue sky filled with luminous fluffy white clouds, a cool breeze pinging the wind chimes and rustling the leaves and fluffing the bird’s feathers.…

Such a beautiful day today. The sky was so pretty it looked artificial. Father Sky painted a glorious azure blue sky, added lots of white fluffy clouds, sun kissed on their crowns, to float around on the canvas and add dimension. Spent the morning watching pee wee football and watching my darling little niece cheerleading…

Slept with the windows open last night, so pleasant and cool. The critters were quiet. The train whistles loud and lonely. The morning was just perfect when I walked out on the porch to walk Penelope. Father Sky had painted his sky canvas a deep azure blue, cloudless and clear in the bright sunshine. I…

Ever had a day so wonderful you wished you had video taped the whole afternoon so you could relive the day over and over again. I had one of those special afternoons today. I’ll always be grateful for the memory of this visit with my mother’s dearest friend. She texted me on my phone and…

Ate my breakfast, toast with cherry jam and bacon, perched in the swing this morning, my hot coffee resting in a cup a holder fastened on the red swing slats. The sky is overcast with dark gray clouds hiding the blue sky canvas. Two squirrels are playing chase around the trunk of a large oak…

Did lots of cloud watching this morning and afternoon. I have become a nephophilia, a big word for a cloud watcher. The sky today was a marble slab. I immediately thought of a marble counter top in a beautiful modern kitchen, featured in an architectural magazine, so pretty with the different rivers of blue and…

Today was such a beautiful Sunday. The sky was colored robin egg blue and the clouds were hiding away gathering for their afternoon stroll onto the horizon hoping Mother Nature would dress them in a colorful pageant gown for sunset. She didn’t disappoint, dressing every cloud and the horizon in her favorite peach and pink…

Ate breakfast on the porch this morning perched comfortably in the red porch swing watching a male yellow American goldfinch flit around the feeders. He’s so handsome in his bright yellow plumage and shiny black wings. I saw a few female goldfinches yesterday, beautiful in their muted cinnamon and honey colored feathers. The breeze is…

This morning was so pretty and so fallish. “It was a beautiful autumn day with air like cider and a sky so blue you could drown in it,” Diana Gabaldan. Wish I written that description of a fall day. Fits today perfectly. I’ve been on the porch all day being lazy. Moving from swing to…

Trying to describe today and the perfect word is sunshiney! The robin egg blue sky and the puffy clouds, gathering together outlined in grays and blues, are so pretty. They yard is quiet, not many birds this morning. I was watching the wind shake the trees behind a house down the street. Was just like…
