For a smile as wide as a country sunrise

Good morning everyone! It’s a cold morning here once again. You’re probably getting tired of hearing that. I am too actually. That’s the way it is here in the winter. Lot’s of repetition. Cold, snow, more cold, more snow. For months. Almost enough to make a person bang their head on the wall. I wouldn’t do it though. Might hurt it. The wall, that is. We did get some sunshine yesterday though, in the afternoon. Didn’t help the temperature at all, but it did look nice anyway. The smaller birds were busy at the feeders yesterday too.
But right now we need some sunny, summer pics to enjoy…

This hollyhock is a real beauty. And complete with a bee visitor as well. There was only one plant with this color variation in the whole garden.
A nice bright red hollyhock, again with a bee, soaking up the sunshine. These flowers are real bee magnets all through the summer.
Two more beautiful hollyhocks showing their summer color for us to enjoy. Even if you are in a warm place, these are still lovely to look at. I hope you have a wonderful day and God bless!

Good morning Steve and Muffin!
Don’t bang your head on the wall as spring is coming! Muffin predicted it 😉🌞😸
You are perfectly right! Even if I leave in summer, these flowers are gorgeous to look at 😉🌸🌼
Wish you a wonderful day Steve and Muffin! 😉😻

Good morning Ribana! I’ll try not to do that.😂🙄Yep, early spring, but that’s still 2 months away. Oh well, time flies, I hope.😄😸🌞
Hard to believe it was -1 on the weekend and now it’s back to -25.🥶🙀
Thanks Ribana, these are one of my favorite “country garden” flowers growing to a height of 2 1/2 meters, at least around here.🤪🌺🌸
I hope you have a great day as well Ribana!😃😺🌞⛄

I’m staying indoors for sure, except to go out for a short walk. I wanted to be out and get pics of the birds in the sun,🌞📷 but that wind was much too cold, so I came back in.😳 Hope you have a great Wednesday!😃😺
