For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good morning everyone on another cold morning! Wow, that cold air moved in with such a blast of strong north wind yesterday, amazing how fast the temperature fell in 3 hours. Just a reminder that winter is still around for a while yet. Those bird feeders were really blowing around out there too. Amazing that the birds were able to hold onto those plastic perches. But there they sat munching away on the sunflower seeds like nothing was happening. Just another day for them eating their favorite food. Hmm, Muffin’s head just popped up when I typed food. It’s like she knows. I think that old cabin fever must be getting to me again too. If I’m starting to think like that. The joys of winter in Canada.
So let’s head off to a different joy with some nice summer time pics…
First we have these beautiful pink hydrangeas, this pic provided by my friend Ross from Italy. Such a wonderful bunch of large flower clusters! Too bad we can’t grow these colored ones around here, just too cold for them.
And continuing over in Europe, here is a view from the Parc Phoenix in Nice from my vacation there last year.
Both show some nice summertime sunshine and warmth as well! Thank you for taking a look today, I hope you all have a happy Sunday and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.
