For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Hello everyone on this very wet Thursday afternoon! I am still finishing up the last of my awards, my apologies to all for taking so long to get these done. I wanted to be a little faster than this, however, that idea didn’t work out! Due to the backlog, though I am nearly caught up, I won’t be accepting any new awards for a while. However, Muffin would be very happy to accept any awards so please keep her in mind if you are looking for someone to nominate!
But, back to this Sunshine Blogger Award which has been given to me by my good friend Ilona! If you don’t already know, Ilona is back with a brand new blog full of positively beautiful photos and encouraging posts. So check out her new blog, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. Thank you so very much for giving me this award Ilona, I very much appreciate it!!

The Sunshine Blogger Award Rules:
Thank the blogger who nominated you and provide a link back to their blog so others can find them.
List the rules and display an award logo on your blog post.
Answer the 11 questions the blogger asked you.
Nominate 11 new blogs to receive the award and notify them by commenting on any of their posts.
Ask the nominees 11 new questions.

Questions :
1)What inspires you to wake up every morning? Muffin. If I don’t get up quickly enough she will sit on me and pat my nose and lips with her paw. 😺 And if that doesn’t work, she jumps on me. That always works.😳😹
2)What is your purpose for your blog? To give people a place to come, relax, enjoy some nature with words and photos.🌞🌳🐿🍁🍂🌲🌼🌻 And perhaps get a smile or laugh a bit.🙂😂😹
3)Do you like to talks walks or jogs? I love to take nice long walks in nature.
4)What is the most important thing to you when it comes to family? I’m single and don’t have my own family, but love, spending time together would certainly be important.👨👩👧👦❤
5)Have you ever took a trip and got stuck there because of the bad weather? No, such an easy one.😀😺I like easy.
6)Do it snow where you live? 😂😂😂😹😹😹Oh, sorry, but it was kind of funny. Yes, we get several feet of snow every winter.
7)What makes you want to keep writing? I love to write. Another easy one.😃😺
8)Do you like to ride horses? If so, have you? I have never been on a horse, but I would like to ride them.😀🐎🐴
9)What is your favorite type of birds? I’m glad you said birds! Chickadees, because they are so small and friendly and can survive our most severe winters. Blue jays because they are just so beautiful. I could pick a lot more, but will stay with 2.😄😀😏😽
10)What month was you born? June, a nice warm summer month.😂😹🌳
11)What is your favorite place to eat pasta? At home. Notice my very imaginative answer to that one!😂😹
Okay, now for my questions!
And now, the nominees!

I’m glad the sun is shining in your neck of the woods! Awards are nice but very time-consuming. While my blogs are award-free, I was nominated for an award yesterday, which I will post it because it’s one where there are no rules. Have a great day! ☕️
