Ponderings from the Porch Swing

Ate my breakfast at the table this morning with my grandchildren. Had a delicious cup of coffee in a Starbucks mug. Those are heavy cups. Dropped my South Carolina mug on my foot the other day. Hurt so bad! Wanted to cry but when you are grown it’s “suck it up buttercup.” So glad the…

Ate cheese toast with strawberry jelly this morning on the porch swing pondering about life and how fast times flies. Sitting in the swing I see summer blue sky and low fluffy clouds, lazily changing shapes and slowly floating by on the horizon. I filled all the bird feeders at dusk yesterday so lots of…

Ate a Jack’s biscuit for breakfast in the swing this morning. Going on a trip to the mountains one day soon. Been running around getting things together. Missed my early morning pondering. Pondering now with a dove cooing close by accompanied by a faint wind chime orchestra. Great breeze, very light blue sky, few low…

Another beautiful day on planet Earth. In honor of oldest sister-in-law I declare today’s sky Feltman Brothers’ blue. If you raised a child in a small Southern town you know the color. There are a few clouds floating around this morning and they all look like oyster shells. God just touched his bright white pastel…

Such a nice day to enjoy the porch. Hot summer sunshine and a cloudless cerulean blue sky. Wind chime and bird symphonies welcoming the early morning. The faithful cardinals are all over the yard and oak tree. A heavy breeze is keeping the porch cool. Wind chimes’ clappers are pinging just one pipe at a…

Got up earlier than usual today and walked Penelope under a beautiful clear blue sky. I ate my breakfast pondering in the porch swing listening to the wind chimes’ musical notes. Cool heavy breeze kept the porch pleasant. Not a cloud in sight no matter which way I gazed. Mother Nature gave God a flawless…

Pretty morning. Ate my breakfast pondering in the swing. The sky was descriptively summer. All my birdies were on the feeders or sipping from the bird baths. Got an invite to baby brother’s pool so off I went. Spent a pleasant day with baby brother and his family and grandchildren. His baby grandson has some…

Ate breakfast on the porch pondering in the swing and watching the world wake up. Dark blue sky with large fluffy bleached clouds. Wasn’t the brightest of suns but warm enough to make the flower blossoms stand up and turn their faces to the warmth. The day was so pleasant. The breeze blew in a…

Cerulean blue sky today. White fluffy clouds, barely smoke gray on the bottoms. Nice breeze for a while, strong enough to compose a wind chime symphony. I ate my bagel and fruit watching the fighting finches and cardinals. Lots of small wrens around today. They’ve not chubbed up yet like the mature ones. The finches…

Motored home from Peachtree City facing a sky canvas of gray repose colored clouds dripping rain at a steady pace. The gloomy sky made me sad for a few moments replaying all the memories with the grandchildren that Chief missed out on. But with my faith, I have to believe he is watching over us.…
