For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Hi everyone! Time to grab a coffee, sit, relax and chat a while. It was a nice, sunny morning earlier, but it has become cloudy once again. It is supposed to be quite mild today though, perhaps getting above freezing. Yesterday was shopping day and the stores were nearly empty, mainly because it was a holiday. It was Family Day yesterday, a holiday that most provinces in Canada observe.
Other provinces have a different name for it though, but most call it Family Day. It was nice and sunny yesterday, but rather on the cold side in the morning. The afternoon was a bit better. The crows and ravens were sure noisy yesterday, constantly chasing each other.

A look at some snowy pictures from February 19, 2021.
At one point the crows were busy chasing an eagle and the eagle was not enjoying it too much. At one point he almost caught himself a crow for supper and the crows kept their distance after that. One year I watched as a raven chased an eagle and he got too close.
The eagle flipped over onto its back quickly and grabbed the raven, flying off with it. He had his lunch that day. It does not pay to get too close to those big birds. I was downstairs doing laundry on Friday, got there at 4:15am. It is amazing how many people are up and walking around at that time of the morning.

We did not have much snow that winter either.
One woman stopped in to talk for a bit. I had not seen her before, she looked to be around 40, and very pleasant. There was a man sitting in the lobby area and two other men, one heading out for a walk and one just coming back from a walk. It got even busier between 4:30 and 5. Don’t people like to sleep? Who wants to go walking around in the dark? Very strange indeed.
I will be getting a new neighbor at some point. The lady that lived beside me fell and broke her arm, ending up in the hospital. While there she fell and broke her ankle. Now she is in a nursing home and will not be coming back here. So the family has been going through all her belongings lately. People think I have a lot of stuff.

However, it was much colder that winter.
Hmm, anyway, enough of that. The morning has disappeared so quickly today, but I did get some things done this morning and that is a good thing. This afternoon I vacuum and wash floors. Real exciting stuff.π Thank you for stopping by, have a great day everyone and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

That eagle story was really interesting.

I was amazed at how fast that eagle flipped over on it’s back to grab that raven!

Yes, it is part of the wild way of life. It was strange the raven was chasing the eagle since it was winter and not nesting season.π€
Muffin sends a hug to Callie too!π½πββ

Hard to get pics of snow this year, it keeps melting on us. Two weeks ago we had no snow and it was raining for two days. Now we have about 4 inches of snow but the temp is supposed to be in the mid 40s this weekend, so it might melt again!ππΊββ
