For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
A good Tuesday morning to all of you! Time for a cup of coffee and a bit of chatting on this somewhat cool and wet morning. Some bad to severe thunderstorms are moving through the area but so far we have not been hit with any of them, which is a nice thing. We have had a bit of light rain but nothing much really. It is supposed to be quite warm today though, however, it certainly does not feel like it right now.
Unless the sun comes out I doubt that we will see the forecast high of 85F (29C). Jasmine and that new female squirrel were out here this morning having some serious “discussions” and amazing chases! Those two squirrels were really moving out there running and jumping! Of course with all the leaves out now I lose track of them more quickly, but that is okay. I like having those leaves.
It appears to be getting darker outside again, likely means that some rain will be starting soon. I have not seen any chipmunks this morning, probably staying home where it is nice and dry, eating peanuts and napping. Perhaps playing computer games. Hey, they are intelligent! Okay, forget the computer games. But they might be digging out new storage rooms. Those peanuts take up a lot of space.
Not too much happening around here today, but I guess that is what it will be like this summer. It turned out nice and sunny yesterday so I was out trying for some pictures. I just stayed in the yard. Mostly I got some pics of flowers and a couple of insects which will be shown soon, however, today it will be other critters. Do not forget, International Chipmunk Appreciation Day is coming up in only 9 days! Help celebrate by wearing something brown or something striped that day.
Hmm, if it gets any darker out there we will be back into night. And it looks like Jasmine and Chase are at it now, running through the trees, wow, Jasmine jumped and almost landed on top of Chase! That would have been quite the “discussion”. Poor Jasmine. It is tough being at the top. Sorry, I am just kind of rambling today. I did not get much sleep last night and I think my brain is still sleeping. Thank you for reading today, have a great day and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

It started last night by not getting to bed until 11. My doc wants me in bed no later than 10, 9:30 is better, if I’m going to get up so early, otherwise I might have problems. He says naps are okay but not as good as sleeping at night. Anyway, I get up, change sheets on bed (always a painful activity), do 2 loads of laundry, wash dry fold put away. I hour outside for pics, phone calls, 2 of which were stressful, had nap, didn’t want to but by then I just could barely move or think. Got everything ready for church tomorrow which seemed to take long than normal. Clean up on the deck and inside, did too much there when I didn’t need to today. Did post, read posts, sorted pics.

That might have been nice, almost, sorta, kinda. I was up earlier than normal after going to be later than normal and being up during the night for a while too. Not much sleep last night so I am tired. Otherwise not too bad. How was your day?🤔

It was warm outside here! But I had a good day!😁 I’m sorry it was difficult to sleep last night 🌙 😴 Hopefully tonight it will cool off more and you can get a good rest in.😊

Cooling off it will do, but there is supposed to be thunderstorms, already heard some thunder, that would mean closing windows which would be a killer!😮😮⛈️⛈️🙀🙀

It certainly does!! If you have double hung windows you could open the top one a little to help let the warm out!🤔🙄
