For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good morning everyone and Happy Sunday to all of you as well! We didn’t get that much snow from our snowstorm and strangely it didn’t get real cold right after. That’s the normal way things happen, we get snow and it turns very cold the next day, which makes it hard to shovel the snow. But this time it stayed mild. Actually, our whole winter so far has been fairly mild, which is certainly a nice break from having the last 4 winters that were very cold with lots of snow. So I’m certainly thankful for this break. However, the day is cloudy once again.
Therefore, let’s enjoy some more summer sunshine with these bright wildflowers…
And we will start off with these beauties, the moss pinks, a wildflower that is not too common in this area so always fun to find some.
And here we have a very common wildflower, yarrow, which is mostly found in white but sometimes can be found in pale pink as well. They love open areas and often in rocky spots that are quite dry. But they will grow most anywhere. There is also a garden variety which looks much the same and comes in several different colors.
Thank you once again for joining us here to enjoy some of our wildflowers. I hope you all have an enjoyable Sunday and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

They can get bad. This storm went further south than the forecasters thought so we didn’t get much snow, but lots of wind blowing that snow around.

Good morning or should I say evening 😊
That yarrow looks very similar to a kind of wildflower that my grandpa used to pick from the mountain for tea 🍵😉
Have a wonderful week dear Steve and Muffin!

They would likely be the same kind of flower for sure and they do make good tea.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful week!😁😸⛄🌲

I’m glad the snowstorm wasn’t too bad for you! Whew! I remember when I moved to New Jersey, we got hit by a blizzard. Ha, and I just moved there from Florida!
Beautiful pics of flowers, Steve, and they remind me of spring.
Stay warm and give Muffin a hug! 😸🧦 🧤 🧣☕️☕️

Thanks Eugenia! We have had some bad blizzards up here, though mostly it’s just regular snowfalls of 10 to15 inches. This is one of our nicer winters that we get now and then, certainly a nice break after the last 4 winters that were brutal and long.😬🥶🙀
Muffin appreciated her hug and meows thanks!😻
Have a great day Eugenia!😁😸☕🌼
