For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good evening everyone! I haven’t had one of these posts in a very long time, so maybe it’s time to get started with them again. I have been picking up some nice new photos to use for posts such as these. We had a rainy day today, and cooler with a north wind. The wind has gotten quite strong now I see.
Well, we did need the rain, but a high of only 66F (19C) is rather cool for mid August, even for us. But, it should warm up a little this coming week, at least, I hope so. In the photo today is an old rotten tree stump with new life growing in the middle of it. Not trees, but plants of some kind.

I have seen tree stumps with new, little trees growing out of them from a different tree species. That’s always cool to see. If you have a vivid imagination like mine, that tree stump on the outside has a somewhat of a heart shape to it. I know, I’m crazy. Anyway, have a great weekend everyone and God bless!
