For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good morning on this milder winter Saturday. Such strange weather we are having, but I do like the milder weather so I won’t complain. It was so nice to have that sunny day yesterday. The sun was shining so beautifully into my apartment. Muffin enjoyed sleeping in her patch of sunshine once again. I’m sure she has missed that little joy. And I managed to get a few sunny winter pics today as well. It was a good day for sure. We should always take some time to enjoy the little pleasures of each day. Here are today’s pics for you to enjoy…
A beautiful dark maroon hollyhock with bright sunny center.
And here we have a nice bright white delphinium. And that concludes the 3 different colors of delphiniums in my landlord’s garden.
I hope you enjoyed today’s selection, have a wonderful weekend everyone and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

What’s wrong with lazing?🤔 It’s a real word.😀A wedding, those can be sort of fun. I read of one wedding, 2 dogs got married, the owners spent thousands of dollars on the wedding.🤔🙄 Amazing.

Such beauty ! Deep red and sparkly white go well with each other…I tried growing hollyhocks but they did not bloom…must be the soil…we do have blue delphiniums which are so pretty…will have to look for different colours…flowers do make me smile ! Thanks for posting them !

Hollyhocks do like a very well drained soil. But they often won’t bloom the first year, they will the second year. They come up from seeds each year. They are a real old fashioned country flower.
