For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good morning everyone and Happy Sunday! It’s the first day of a new week. And it’s cool, windy, cloudy and raining. There is a strong northwest wind bringing some cool air in for a day or two. It really does not feel like summer this morning. And I didn’t sit on the deck with my coffee either. Good way to get wet. Sir George and Lady Pearl were the first gulls here this morning, followed later by Sir Henry. Coffee was the first chipmunk here today and he was having fun running off with the peanuts while no one was around to chase him. He is a baby chipmunk from this year, now on his own, and he can’t carry as many peanuts as the older chipmunks. But he happily runs off with one at a time.
He still won’t come near me yet, but that should change once I spend more time out there actually feeding them, and not just watching them. Skamper and Skatter were the next chipmunks to come and they were looking a bit wet since it was raining by then. Didn’t see any other chipmunks this morning. Runner was late showing up this morning. Perhaps he saw the rain and decided to sleep a little longer this morning. Smart squirrel. But Coffee got the entire first batch of peanuts anyway. Poor little guy, he has to make so many trips compared to the other chipmunks. But at least he will have a good winter supply of food.
Well, today’s pics are both from the river on a nice sunny day, I hope you will enjoy them. I hope you all have a wonderful day and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

That’s interesting, that you start your week with Monday, something I didn’t know.π€ I guess you must be getting somewhat back to normal over in Italy now,π or is there still a lot of restrictions?π

we must wear masks when we are indoors, we must keep our distance and make use of a lot of hydroalcoholic solution for the hands. Then every business has its own rules, so we still have several restrictions. But that’s okay.

People around here are strongly opposed to wearing masks. I always wear a mask though and some other people do as well.
