Sunny Sunday! #13

Good morning to everyone! Oh my, it is a cold morning! But we will not talk about that. Really, it should not be so cold this time of the year, it should be much milder than this. So we will not talk about this. It was a nice sunny day yesterday, but it sure did not warm up much, not even inside, so my heater was on constantly throughout the day. It is just too cold. But we will not talk about it. I mean, I was shivering sitting in my chair writing yesterday.

Nice bright daylily.

That should not happen when the sun is shining. But it is just cold. So we will not talk about it. The days are getting nice and long though. It is daylight until 8pm now, and it is starting to get daylight at 6am. So nice indeed. I like the longer days, they make a person feel so much better and give me so much more energy…well, maybe we should skip the energy part. Longer days did give me more energy at one time, but it does not seem to work quite so well anymore.

Still, it does give that desire to get at doing things. Which makes spring cleaning easier than fall cleaning. Muffin was helping me this week. She would reach way under the furniture and pull out the dust dinosaurs. No kidding, she really did do this and she kept it up for quite a while. Then she got bored and started swishing the dust around with her tail and right into my face. That of course would make me sneeze.

Another bright and cheery daylily.

Which made her run. Then while I was on my stomach reaching under things I could not move, she would come and sit on my back. Which meant I could not move. She always does that. Every time we clean together anyway. So I grab the handle on a drawer to help pull myself up. That drawer slides easily. Whack! AAAAAA! Hit my nose. But the scream caused Muffin to jump off my back. So I got up quickly. Well, quick for me anyway. There was more cleaning fun, but I will leave it at that for today. I hope you have a sunny Sunday and God bless!

Wildflower Of The Week. #8

Hi everyone!

Here we are with this week’s wildflower, the “twinflower”. This wildflower is found over much of the northern parts of the northern hemisphere and can be known by different names. It is a small flower, usually about half and inch (1.25cm) long, sitting on top of stalks about 3 inches (7.5cm) tall, though sometimes a bit taller. I have to lie on my stomach to get pictures of these little beauties. They are most common in pine forests, and they are beautifully scented as well. Have a wonderful Sunday everyone and God bless!

Steve and Muffin.
