For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good morning to all of you on this sunny, summer day! Beautiful blue sky in every direction, just a light wind blowing, and it is warm, somewhat at least. For this time of day it is nice anyway, and the forecast high is 77F (25C), which is not so bad. Especially with the sun. We have had so much rain lately. Yesterday was more rain and thunderstorms. Poor Muffin. She did not have a good day.

Painted Lady butterfly above.
In keeping with the Thursday post, we have a nice photo to share, the Painted Lady butterfly. This is one of our migratory butterflies, spending winter in the SW US and Mexico. I will talk more about butterflies at a later time. There is another orange butterfly around right now, a medium size one, but it will not sit down so I have not been able to get a picture. Oh well, maybe one of these days. I hope you have a wonderful day and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

Thank you so much Ribana! It took a few tries to get her. June is usually our rainy month, but June and July got their weather mixed up this year.ππ»ππ¦ββ
