Welcome to Litsy!

The tulips we picked a week ago are still flourishing.

Although it is a damp gray early morning, I am bundled up in the porch glider. When I opened the porch door and heard the call of a mourning dove I JUST HAD to be out here for a little while. Sounds of a bird chorus are filling my ears.
I am really enjoying this historical novel; it was a free one from Kindle. #readyourkindle #birdsong #porchlife

Pre dinner porch time. Beautiful day- cloudless blue skies leaves budding on the maple trees, a soft wind that swirls all the pink petals from the magnolia tree off into the warm air. #porchlife

Early morning read before work. The air is a symphony of bird song. Morning dew after a night of rain. Coffee in my work bag. A little bit of heaven.#coffeeandbooks #porchlife

Foggy morning after a night‘s rain.Tulips closed up for the night.Low 70s predicted but no sun.Wondering what makes them open?Temperature?Sun?
There is the rapid tapping of a woodpecker at work- she must be in one of the tall ancient Maples that line part of my driveway, because her tapping is LOUD.A chorus of birdsong has begun. A silent runner passes by.I love celebrating early mornings on my porch. #porchlife

Late morning coffee. This book is lovely- perfect for my vacation week. I just hope I can keep up with this daily once I am back at work. Very simple prompts to remind you to sit with nature, hear its sounds, observe its emerging beauty. One prompt for every day of the year. #coffeeandbooks #porchlife #naturetonic #naturalitsy #litsolace

It‘s 5 pm & I am enjoying my porch with a little Gingerale and a book. Thanks to #nunlit I discovered this champion of 1920s Cork, Ireland‘s working class, poor, & the unseen. Just starting but my guess is it will be a good one. #serieslove2024 #librarybook #porchlife

Reading this Sister Fidelma mystery, set in the mid 7th century A.D., on my front porch! This is incredibly early I don‘t remember ever being out here in early March like this in the past today 60° maybe a fluke it could be 30° tomorrow, but I am out here celebrating with seltzer and a book! #porchlife #naturalitsy #litsolace #hygge #earlyspringequinox #serieslove2024 #CelticIreland #bookedintime #March
