Ponderings from the Porch Swing

Sat out on the porch this morning with oldest brother. He’s still got a squirrel problem. Now that’s he’s moved his bird feeders and got the squirrels to leave the feeders alone, they’re now chewing on his porch rail. I’m sure they won’t live much longer if they keep up their chewing. He’ll “cap” them…

I sat in the swing pondering this morning and marveled at how just a few swipes of God’s white pastel drew some wisps of clouds on the dark blue sky canvas. Later I sat in the swing and watched the dark blue sky gather her cotton ball clouds, bleached white, rounded and fluffy, rolling them…

Been watching the sky all day. Sat outside for a while this morning and watched the purple storm clouds gallop across the horizon. I came back inside and looked out the window while the bamboo danced and the rain fell. Been a stormy off and on day. Went outside at dusk to watch the sun…

Ate breakfast this morning on the porch. The clouds were as lazy as I was. Looked like they were hardly moving. It was nice and peaceful till the little flock of fighting finches arrived for breakfast and stirred up the quiet. Haven’t seen the finches in a while. The love to squabble about the perches.…

The day is so pretty! The clouds are bleached white and fluffy, hurrying by on the horizon. Some of the clouds have smokey gray middles. The sky, shyly peaking through the cloud cover in several places, is painted a light blue. A slight breeze is making the smallest of my wind chimes whisper. Only the…

Today has been a beautiful day in so many ways. Ate breakfast on the porch enjoying all the birds and watching the wispy clouds float by on the blue horizon. There was a cool breeze and the porch was very pleasant. A slight wind chime song serenaded me. The birds were singing happily. A thunder…

Went to town this morning to the auto parts store to get oil for my Tahoe Bertha and then on to Wally World, for the first time in several months, with a short grocery list. I’m addicted to the grocery pickup at Wally World but since I was dressed up and had on a bra…

Been trying to sit in the swing and ponder today but it’s really too hot. Roanoke is under a thunderstorm watch and heat advisory warning. Heat index now is at 124 and it’s 1:30 in the afternoon. Thank you to whoever invented window unit air conditioning! I sat in the swing for a little while…

Today was a beautiful summer day. Dark blue sky painted with white fluffy cotton ball clouds, some clouds purple with rain that never fell from the sky. The bird feeders were filled with cardinals and chickadees enjoying their seeds and sips from the bird baths. A few doves lit on the ground bobbing around on…

Actually had a little sprinkle of rain this morning while I pondered on the porch. Not heavy enough to keep me and Penelope from our morning walk. There have been storms all around us but our little slice of the world could still use some good rain showers. Enjoyed a soft breeze this morning while…
