For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good morning everyone! It’s another very cold morning with the temp at -26C (-15F) and the wind bringing that temp down to -40 (temp is the same C or F at this point). Another coffee morning, sitting beside a fireplace in a log cabin, nice a cozy. No, don’t have a log cabin or a fireplace, but I like to dream a bit. Feels good. Especially on a cold winter day. Looking outside at all that white snow makes it feel even colder. Then I go outside. It’s hard to breathe. I not only freeze on the outside, but on the inside too. No wonder it takes so long to warm up when I come back inside. Good thing I don’t stay out there long. Oh well. Time to look at some pictures of warmer times…
Here is a different shot of a nice Oriental poppy. They are such an amazingly bright orange, they really stand out in the garden.
And here we have a different variety of a bright and beautiful daffodil.
I hope everyone has a bright and wonderful Wednesday, God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

Good morning, those pics sure brighten my day with their colors. It’s 33 °F in my neck of the woods. A clear brisk cold day. But I love the cold. Stay warm and you guys have a great day.

Hey, that’s not bad, we only hit -8 today so you were much warmer. With the wind it was -25. Hard on my bare hands out there trying to get pics of the birds. Sigh. Didn’t last long. That’s okay, we like to share, otherwise it gets too cold up here.😂😂🤣🤣
