For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good morning everyone on this sunny Sunday morning! Well, it will be sunny once the sun comes up, which will be awhile yet. But it is clear with the moon shining brightly. The coffee is ready, help yourself and relax with Muffin and I. I did forget to mention before that my Sunday morning coffee post will be a bit different, a little shorter and more just for pics. Nice sunny pics to help us through these long dark winter months. Actually, as far as winter goes, this has been a nice mild winter with very little snow. However, there is still at least 3 months of winter left, and possibly 4 months if it’s like the last few years. So there’s still lots of time for snow and cold weather to hit us.
Jasper and his rival were really running through the trees this morning. Up, down, across the branches, more up and down. Finally the two connected and had quite the fight on a branch until one of them fell at least 20 feet to the snow below. That one just sat there a few moments then went back up the tree and sat on a branch but decided to just stay there. The other one moved closer this way but was still too far away to see who won that fight. I waited, but the squirrels didn’t move. I can only hope that it was Jasper that won the fight. Guess I will find out eventually. I would hate to lose Jasper after all this time. Well, I hope you all enjoy the pics today. And Muffin’s Mewsings will come out this afternoon. Have a wonderful day and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.
