For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good Monday morning everyone! It’s cloudy with a little light snow this morning. Poor Muffin is sitting at the window looking rather dejected. She even gave one of her big sighs a couple minutes ago. She really does do that, and not just in our story! I don’t think she liked seeing more snow coming down. Or maybe it’s just due to being Monday morning. So I got her going with some toys and wow, did she get running wildly around here! Sometimes she gets going and just sort of loses herself in the fun of the moment. Up on the table she goes, sliding right across, past the kerosene lamp and right onto the chair, onto her scratching post and then the window sill, behind the drapes and out the other end onto her bed and up the other scratching post. She stops momentarily then down and into the bedroom, flying over the bed onto the window sill and up on the insulator display shelves. The across her bed and into her cave! There she settles down before returning, feeling much better. See? Monday morning can be fun after all!
And now it’s time for more bright pics for us to enjoy today…
Here we have a closer look at the beautiful pink hydrangeas from my friend Ross. Can’t get much brighter than these flowers.
And once again such warm sunshine from my trip to France last year. These cactus are not exactly tiny plants either, but they certainly make a person think warm.
There is our look at today’s pics, hopefully you have enjoyed them and maybe they will add some sunny rays to your Monday. Happy Monday and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

Steve, I was nearly out of breath as I tried to keep up with Muffin’s burst of energy. Sitting down with some coffee, I am letting the serenity of your pics bring me a quiet moment. Have a great week!

Hydrangeas looks so beautiful 😍 Warm? are you kidding with cactus? 🤔 ever hugged one cactus?🤔 was it warm enough? I heard it is soft and fluffy to hug and use it as a pillow, was that wrong. 😬😜😂 Enjoy the beautiful day Steve 💐🥳️✨

Simon, did you hug a cactus?😲 Please tell me you didn’t do that.😬🏜 But I guess you got the “point” anyway!😂🙄 But cactus do mean warm, they don’t grow in cold places like this, only warm places. Nice and sunny now, but very cold here.🥶🙀⛄
