For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good morning to all of you on this cold December morning. But not quite as cold today, which is nice, only -23C (-10F) although the wind makes it feel colder. Nearly froze one of my fingers yesterday while out there with bare hands trying to get some pictures of birds. Didn’t get any pictures either. Sigh. Oh well, another chance today perhaps. I want to get a picture of that goldfinch that’s around. They are common here in summer, but never around in winter, so this would make a good picture. And speaking of pictures, let’s take a look at today’s…
Here we have a tall mallow in a delicate light lavender. My landlord has only one plant of these and the flowers don’t last long unfortunately.
Another daffodil, but with a darker yellow/orange center than the one yesterday. Daffodils are such a nice, bright spring flower.
Well, that’s our flowers for today, I hope you have a wonderful day and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

Yeaj, that deep frost can be a real problem…🥶 I let the water run overnight a few days ago so the drains didn’t freeze up.

Smart. We are in a high risk area for freezing so they let us run the taps all the time to keep pipes from freezing so there is no charge for the extra water use. But that doesn’t start until mid December. Doesn’t usually get so cold this early.

Yeah, I had my drains freeze a couple of years ago which was rather spendy to get that thawed out so I don’t want to go through that again!

Hey, there are a lot of stores in the US that are not in Canada, even some major ones. Market is too small here in Canada. And a little place like this doesn’t have a lot of choices for stores. Which is why I shop online.

Hi Nina, thanks! I wrote a poem while drinking my morning coffee, not what you were looking for though, but it’s kinda cute. I used the names of 2 cats, but kept their identity secret by using Mr. C and Miss M. I was going to use their full name, but wasn’t sure. Mind if I post it?😀😸😸
