For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Happy Saturday everyone! It was cloudy and cool this morning but it has turned out to be a beautiful day with the sun shining brightly. It is a bit cool at only 66F (19C) and a bit of a north wind, but still it is a beautiful day! I spent some time sitting on the balcony in the sun and Muffin was out there with me, sleeping in the sun.
I then decided to water my flowers, which are not looking too good right now, always happens this time of the year. As I brought some water out I had to step over Muffin. Not a good plan. I spilled a little water which landed on Muffin’s tail. She was not impressed. Neither was my leg, though it didn’t bleed too much.

Maple Seeds
There is a lot of beauty in nature, much of it in small things that we often overlook, like these maple seeds. Little things can really make us smile if we take the time to slow down so we can notice them. Have a great weekend everyone and God bless!

Your temperature in the mid 60s sounds great. The leaves are turning colors and it is 53 F and will get down to 46 F and tonight it will get down to 46 F. Light rain but no smoke. 😳

Understandable, it’s kind of hot over there right now. It would seem our hot weather is over with until next year.😕🙀

Steve, the Lord’s blessings transcend from your post. Depending on one’s location, the final breath of summer (or winter) is several days or a few weeks away.
