For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good morning everyone on this beautiful Wednesday morning! I hope your week is going well. Everything is jumping over here at Steve’s Country! Well, half of us are jumping and half of us are watching the other half. I’ll let you guess who is who, it shouldn’t be too hard I’m sure.😂😹 Even though it looks like winter outside, it does have a spring like look inside. My orchids are still blooming nicely. My African violets are now in full bloom again after taking a 3 week rest, something they do once or twice a year. The rest of the time they are producing flowers, which is especially nice in the winter months.
But now it’s time for some warm spring and summer pics to enjoy…
Not exactly sure what these flowers are from Italy, but in the mint family anyway, very similar to flowers we have except ours are purple.
One of our rock doves (feral pigeons), I thought it’s coloring was quite cool so decided to share this one.
I was going to leave it with two pics, but decided to share this pic of a “dark-eyed junco”. This is another of my favorite birds and amazingly friendly. Well, there it is for today, enjoy your Wednesday and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

Most things in the mint family are good to eat, leaves make a nice tea or can be chopped up in a salad.👌 Can be added to soup as well. Very healthy.💪 The tea is great if you are sick,☕ settles the stomach, helps settle coughs and headaches.😨😱🤕 Hope you are enjoying your evening!😀😺🌙🤸♂️🙋♂️🏋️♂️
