For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Hello everyone on this first day of November! Hard to believe that another month is gone already. It’s cloudy, -2 (28F) and a little light snow. Muffin is looking out the window dreaming of warmer days and chipmunks. All my little chipmunks have gone to bed for the winter, just Choco the squirrel still around. I have lost most of my birds due to the fact I can’t make a new bird feeder for them right now. It will be a dull winter without my birds around. Muffin agrees. Anyway, let’s get to the pictures for today!
From the top of this hill a person can see a long distance and really enjoy the colors of autumn that are gone for another year.
Above we have the broad leaved arrowhead, one of our water loving flowers.
Above we have another look at Sir George, my friendly herring gull. He and his mate, plus others, enjoy coming to my feeder in the spring and summer looking for food. He is a large bird with a 5 foot (150cm) wingspan.
A busy bee gathering nectar from this nice lavender bachelor’s button.
Well, a different mix of pictures for today, hope you have enjoyed them. Happy Friday to everyone and God bless!
Steve and McLeod.

Too many shadows out there, I can’t see properly. Something was just on my steps, that’s one of the areas in the shadows. Maybe I’ll wait. Maybe if I open the door I can see better.

That’s normal around here, had that happen lots. Somebody comes around and makes a mess, dumps out my flower pots, or just makes a lot of noise to wake me up. Even had someone come into my apartment when I wasn’t home. Changed locks after that one.
