For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good morning everyone and Happy Friday to all of you as well! Plus, today is the 150th day of the year marking 150 days of our Daily Pics Series. A new milestone for Muffin and I. And I forgot to mention it before, but Daily Pics #148 was the 1,000th post here on Steve’s Country since my blog began which is an even bigger milestone for me. I really never gave it much thought that I would make it to that point and now I’m past that. Even though I have slowed down a bit since last year. I used to do 3 to 4 posts a day and now it’s down to just 2 posts normally. However, slowing down on the number of posts has made it a bit tough to keep up with some of the posts I enjoyed writing, such as Nature’s Art and my coffee posts. But as I mentioned yesterday, the coffee posts will be back each week again on Tuesdays.
Adventures with my dad posts have also come to a halt but I’m going to try and get them in more often as well. But I would like to take this time to thank you all very much for all of your support for my blog! All of you are very important to Muffin and I and we truly appreciate each and every one of you and for the time you are willing to give up in order to read these posts every week! And please don’t worry if you can’t read every post, that is something that I understand is not an easy thing to do. But thank you for your faithful reading here at Steve’s Country! I do hope you will continue to enjoy your journey through all my meanderings each day.
And now for today’s pics that I hope you will enjoy…

Starting with these beautiful apple blossoms on the tree just a few feet from my deck. Sadly this tree will be cut down once the flowers are finished.

And next, in the above pic we have the blossoms from my neighbors mock cherry tree. It is simply covered with these beautiful pink flowers right now being enjoyed by many dozens of bees. It always produces many, many cherries to be enjoyed by different species of birds throughout fall and winter. The featured image at the top is a geranium flower opening.
And there we have our pics for today, I hope you all have a wonderful Friday and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

Well, just getting the most points would be fun anyway. Just a fun competition and who knows, maybe someone else will win instead of you two!😁😜
It is cold here again, 6 right now, cloudy, strong north wind, high today of 12!😳😳 That should be our night temp, not our day temp.😬😬 Oh well, by next week we should be back to around 30 again,🌞😎 that will be nice. Hey, the sun just came out (Steve jumps for joy, kicks the table leg and sits down purring).😂😂😹😹🙄
