  • Southern Sky

    Fall is such a beautiful time of year. The trees have been gorgeous and the sky has been spectacular. The reds are so pretty. It looks like the sky is on fire! Then . . . the moon comes out: Thank you God for the beauty that surrounds us. A friend was laid off this…

  • Southern Beauty

    My beautiful mother sent me these pics and I am so happy to share them with you. The mums in Mama’s whiskey barrel are all volunteer. They have been coming back from last year now! The petunias have been coming back since two years ago. Aren’t they pretty. She is not even sure where they…

  • Southern Haunting

    A change is in the air. I can feel it and when I look around the neighborhood, I can see it. Something is afoot here! The world is metamorphosing even as I live and breath. I’m not sure what is going on but it is really scary around here. Could it be? I think it…

  • Southern Red October

    In between the frequently rainy days, we have had some nice ones. Everything is really starting to take color. A beautiful red October. Then there is this: These are growing all over the place. They are the weeds whose young leaves are used in poke salat (salad). The berries are gobbled up by the birds,…

  • Southern Dove

    I was snapping some pics this morning and happened to notice this dove. I have doves living near by that visit my bird feeders. I love how the treat me to their soothing coos at the end of the day. When I fill my bird feeder, I always sprinkle some extra seed on the ground…

  • Southern Storms

    It is storm season in the South again. We had a nice one come through yesterday. A lot of rain and wind with a little thunder and lightening thrown in. It wasn’t too bad. When I was a little girl, I was terrified of storms. I would get sick whenever the tornado sirens went off.…

  • Southern Lady Bug

    Yesterday, after working at my computer all day, I finally got myself out to the back porch to read a little. I saw my first lady bug of the season. This was a little bitty one. The poor thing was crawling around on my table and kept getting itself turned upside down. Then it would…

  • Southern Spring!!!

    It’s finally here – the 1st day of Spring. Okay, the weather has already been nice for a while but now it is official. I’ve got on my robin’s egg blue jacket and I’m ready. A lot of people have more energy when the weather is colder but give me a warm spring day and…

  • Southern Sunshine and Mobile, Alabama

    Hooray! Daylight Saving Time starts this weekend. I don’t mind the dark mornings for a few weeks. Of course, I love it in June when you start hearing the birds singing around 5 a.m. and the days are looong. I love sitting on my porch long into the evening. In the Summer, I even brave…

  • Southern Spring Fever

    15 Days to Spring! If you’ve been reading this blog this week, you know I have it – Spring Fever. Spring fever has appeared in love poems, stories and medical literature. There have even scientific studies to try to define it and it’s symptoms. Personally, I don’t need a scientific study. I know the signs…

  • Southern Beginnings

    17 days until Spring! I saw daffodils blooming yesterday! Now, I feel like I’m on a mission – there must be more somewhere. I’m also really enjoying the cardinal family that is visiting my bird feeder. From where I’m sitting, writing this, I can look out the window and see the bird feeder in the…
