For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Hi everyone! Time to grab a coffee and join me for a few minutes. It is a beautiful day here, the sky is blue, the sun is shining brightly and…it’s snowing. Now, I’m not quite sure how that works, but there are a few very small fluffy type clouds out there, so I guess one of them decided to drop a few snow flakes down on us. Kind of odd, but that’s the way it goes.
It is a bit cooler as well, with the temperature feeling at around -30F (-34C) this morning, though it is a touch warmer now, by a couple of degrees. Tonight could see things getting somewhat colder. But it is January. So, cold weather is to be expected. I’m a warm weather person. I might have mentioned that once or twice. That means I like, well, warm weather. But you probably guessed that.

I have been repotting some of my plants, a calathea, some kind of a vine of which I forget the name and I planted some cuttings of a hoya plant that I got from a friend at Christmas. I have wanted to get another hoya plant for some time, but no one around here sells them. I had one years ago, it was quite large and it always produced such beautiful, scented flowers.

Sometimes over 40 flowers would be blooming at once. They are actually clusters of small flowers and just beautiful. This apartment is a good place for growing plants, it is generally nice and bright in here. I still have 3 violets and 2 calatheas to repot. Well, there are no clouds left out there that I can see out my window. And no snowflakes.

It is actually very nice to see the sun shining again. It gives a person new energy to get things done. At least, it works for me, though maybe not everyone. I will share some more of my bird photos for you to enjoy. Thank you for stopping by, have a great day and God bless!
