Ponderings from the Porch Swing

Sat on the porch this morning eating a bagel spread with cherry jam from Mercier Orchards in Blue Ridge, Georgia. So delicious. Had four strawberries on my plate, too. Chief and I had a small strawberry bed for several years. I’d go outside and pick enough strawberries to put on top of my cereal some…

Sat on the porch this morning and the breeze was just wonderful. Strong enough to keep me cool as I sat in the swing and pondered. The breeze pinged the wind chimes softly and played a Sunday hymnal symphony. The birds chimed in and the cicadas sang for their mates. The light blue sky was…

Ate a bowl of fruit for breakfast this morning sitting in the swing and soaking up another beautiful sultry summer morning. The baby blue sky was so pretty, covered in mackerel scale clouds, rippling and undulating across the horizon. Really looked like waves of clouds, slapping the sky. The cicadas are singing so loud they’re…

Ate my biscuit on the porch in the swing this morning. The flies weren’t as interested in a biscuit as they are a bagel or maybe the citronella candles have burned long enough to work. The sky was so pretty, blue like the color of Feltman Brother’s baby clothes. All kinds of clouds in the…

Been a beautiful day today in so many ways. Been busy doing chores and filling bird feeders and folding clothes and feeding relatives’ animals. A full day. Saw three things today that brought me joy and thankfulness for the blessings in my life. The first thing that made me count my blessings is a photo…

Been a hot and humid day, summertime in the South. Don’t know about y’all but I’d like for some rain to head our way. I know I’m always complaining about technology but I do enjoy using the weather app AccuWeather and it says three percent chance for tomorrow so guess we can forget about rain…

Got up this morning and took Penelope for her first walk of the day. As I walked out on the porch I noticed a big puddle of water on the side of the sidewalk. I thought at first, “Yeah, we had a rain last night so I can wait a day before I break out…

Had a darling little house guest today. Always enjoy spending time with the young ones in our family. We played video games and went swimming with cousins at baby brother’s pool, visited the Golden Arches for lunch. It was a fun, happy day, full of laughter and popcorn and popsicles. The joy of childhood is…

I’m sitting on the porch this Sunday morning enjoying the beauty of another day on God’s green Earth. The sun is so bright, the sky so blue, the clouds so white. I can’t help but think of the Bible verse in Psalms 118:24, “This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and…

The porch swing pondering is just marvelous today, darlings! You have to read the word marvelous with a long drawn out southern drawl. The Lord knew I needed some porch time today. It’s a cool 72 degrees with a delightful breeze! I’m loving it! The wind chimes are striking up a morning sonata and the…
