Ponderings from the Porch Swing

Ate breakfast perched in the swing this morning under a dreary overcast sky. Overcast skies always makes me think of the color of a dirty white T-shirt that needs washing with Clorox. But I bet if I pay closer attention next time to the overcast sky I’ll discover the beauty in it I missed by…

Pondered on the porch with my bagel this morning. The sky was so blue and the clouds so white. I love these days when there is the slightest touch of fall in the sky color. The leaves are beginning to slip into their colorful fall sweaters, dressed up for their flight to the earth’s floor.…

Today was an ordinary day but so beautiful in its ordinariness. Clear blue sky, so pretty to look up and search for clouds that weren’t to be found. A warm sun making all the blooms on the flowers stand up and sunbath in the warmth of the sun. The yard was so quiet, only the…

Today was truly a day the Lord hath made. Just beautiful! Drawn with a cloudless blue sky and colored with warm bright sunshine. These morning are feeling more like fall every day. Had a quiet Sunday symphony composed of bird songs and soft wind chime concertos. Just when I got peaceful and relaxed a riding…

The morning is so pretty. The sky is blue and cloudless. The sun is clear and bright. A repeat of previous days. I love reruns! I ate my breakfast in the swing listening to the calls and love songs of the birds. A hawk has been circling the neighborhood calling loudly for his mate. A…

The grass was dark green, the dew sparkling where the sunlight kissed the lawn. The morning was serene and untouched, gathering warmth for a blissful…

Walked Penelope this morning under a sparkling azure sky. Not a cloud in sight and the sun was warm and clear, shining cleanly on the awakening earth. The sky just has the bluish look of fall to me but today had some summertime heat. Mother Nature is not quite ready to turn off her summer…

The sky this morning was beautiful, the clear azure blue of September. Nothing but a half moon and a large luminous feather shaped cloud were pinned in the sky. I stood and looked at the feather cloud in amazement. I was too dumbfounded to run and get my camera to take a photo. It looked…

Beautiful drive home this morning from Georgia. Followed the pristine white clouds and turquoise sky all the way back to Alabama. I’m perched in my porch swing now watching the clouds float by to the melodies of bird songs and wind chimes. Glad to be safely home with lots of wonderful memories filed away. Watched…

Rerunning a favorite blog from January — Pretty day today, a little cool, but when the sun hit the porch swing, I sat on the porch and enjoyed watching a college of cardinals, a charm of finches, a chime of wrens, a booby of nuthatches, a banditry of chickadees, and a cote of doves. I…
