For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Hi everybody! How are you this morning? It’s a bit on the cold side here again, but warming up today and the weekend looks great, nice and mild. Our snow should start to melt once again. We might even get to see the sun today. That would be nice indeed. But even if we don’t see the sun for a long time, we need to keep smiling and remember that the sun will return. In the mean time, more sunny pictures await us today.
To start our day, we have a nice bright red hollyhock.
Followed by a blue and lavender delphinium. The other day we had a blue and white delphinium. There is one more color to show another day.
Oh, Happy Friday to all of you! Did you think I would forget? Have a great day and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

It’s gloomy and rainy over here Steve, but I’m doing great. Getting a fresh start with reading you post. The lavender delphinium (the last picture) is enchanting ❤️

Remember I said you would have snow by Dec 1? hehehehehe!!!😂 I’m not laughing.😁 Really.🙄 But snow makes it more cozy feeling and helps get you thinking Christmas! Wow, that’s deep.😳 We have about 5 cm here. Do you have a fireplace or wood heater?🤔🤪 Perfect for that weather, along with a cup of herbal tea.😀☕ Like this…

Yes, we have both have wood heater and a fireplace. So much job to keep them burning now that’s minus degrees outside. And no, I don’t have the tasty tea you skillfully made… hence I only click like because I feel so envious 😭
