Ponderings from the Porch Swing

Didn’t do any pondering on the porch today. I still don’t feel up to snuff and just couldn’t take the heat. Decided to declare today an official lazy day and just vegetate. Didn’t sleep well so I actually took a nap which is unusual. Would love to have a lazy day in the swing but…

Pondering in the swing this morning. The sky is milky white. No blue sky, no fluffy clouds kissed by the sun. Read humidity can affect the color of the sky. Can’t say it’s not humid today! The sun is so bright. Almost hurts your eyes to look up at the sky. Once the cloud cover…

Enjoyed the porch this morning. Actually ate three ears of boiled corn from middle vet brother’s garden for breakfast. It was delicious! Almost as good as the corn Daddy used to grow. Hasn’t killed me yet so guess I’m on the mend. Didn’t have any clouds to watch changing shapes. The sky was overcast. Always…

Went outside this morning and sat in the swing for a little while. Still don’t feel well and the heat and humidity were just to much. Did notice, though, the beautiful sunny sky and the fluffy bleached white clouds courtesy of Father Sky. Saw a beautiful little purple finch drinking and bathing in the bird…

Been sick with a stomach virus and fever. Can’t even hold my head up. Don’t feel like pondering in the swing today. Gonna leave y’all with a blessing I love to read. Apache Blessing May the sun bring you new energy by day, may the moon softly restore you by night, may the rain wash…

Ate my bagel and fruit and drank a cup of coffee pondering in the swing and watching all my bird friends this morning. They seem to have adjusted to all the bushes being cut. No where to hide now. Saw a wood thrush and a fat downy woodpecker. Those two love the suet feeders. The…

Sat on the porch late morning and ate my bagel while I visited with oldest brother. Aways enjoy our visits and I’m missing them since he’s working full time now. Don’t know how he holds up with the farm work in this heat. I’m still worn out from the children’s visit but it’s a happy…

I’m back in my ordinary world today eating breakfast in the swing, pondering on the meaning of life. No little girls flitting around me. Missing them! The birds songs are so pretty in the calm quiet of the morning. No iPad dragon game roars in my yard symphony. The sky is dark blue, framed by…

Mother Nature and Father Sky are fighting over control of the sky this afternoon. One minute it’s hot and sunny, blue skies, fluffy clouds. Next minute the sun is blocked, clouds are gray with rain and a breeze blows. From the looks of the weather radar I think Mother Nature might win this contest. We…

Sat on the porch swing today waiting for the rain to start. The sky was colorless. Today is the 21st anniversary of my daughter’s death. I was pondering on the porch today remembering Rosie, determined to let the rain drops be my tears as I looked for a happy moment in this day. That thought…
