For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good morning to all of you on this another very wet day! At least there are no thunderstorms, so Muffin is happy and she has really been sleeping a lot since those storms stopped. She does have good ideas sometimes! The poor birds are certainly looking wet this morning and not much singing happening either. And I am enjoying my coffee inside once again. A bit chilly this morning too, only 52F (11C), and this is our high for the day. Kind of a cool summer day. But we get those, it’s not exactly an unusual thing for us. Mmm, a nice hot cup of coffee to begin the day, just perfect on these cool rainy days. Muffin is curled up on her favorite warm blanket, that’s her way to deal with a cool rainy day. Baxter is calling, must need some more peanuts out there.
There are 3 chipmunks once again, I’m not sure what happened to Rusty, perhaps he died of old age, he was 4 and that’s about the max for chipmunks. Skamper was next in line to become top chipmunk, but Pocket came along and he decided to be top chipmunk instead. And it seemed to be working for awhile, but Skamper didn’t like that arrangement so after a few discussions Skamper is now top chipmunk, Pocket second, then there’s number 3, haven’t figured out a name for him yet. He seems to be identical to Skamper, but not as brave. Guess I will have to wait for a dry day when I can sit out there with them for a while so I can pick out a difference between those two. Meantime, let’s look at some nice bright flower pics…

In the above photo is one of my geraniums again, with a nice color combination.

In the above photo is another look at a nice bright Iceland poppy. And the featured image at the top is the forget-me-nots once more as well. I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

Coffee and rainy days go together quite well! Iβm curious what name you will give to the third chipmunk…

So very true! Once I get to spend some time outside to learn some of his characteristics, then I can give him a name. I think he’s a little smaller than Skamper.

Yes, only 4 years if they make it to old age. Apparently the average is 2 years due to numerous predators, wolves, fox, coyotes, hawks, owls, pine marten, weasels.π³π²π¬
Thanks Ribana! Enjoy your evening!ππΊπ
