For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Sunny Sunday. #2
Good morning everyone! It is a nice, but cold and windy morning here. If it was not for the cold and windy part, it would be very nice. And of course no snow. However, that will take a while yet. A long while. Months. So we will not even think about that this morning. Instead I like to think about summer on days like this. Warmth, sunshine, green leaves on the trees and multitudes of flowers blooming everywhere. Now that is a nice day. Right now it is just a dream, but it sure is a nice dream. A nice deserted island full of palm trees and sand beaches where it is warm all year. That is another nice dream.
But it does not even need to be that nice. That Nice place I went to on vacation 2 years ago, it does not get cold there either. Temps stay on the plus side of the freezing point, which is very nice. I could handle that very well. I remember telling a taxi driver how cold it gets over here. He turned around and stared at me. Almost drove into the back of a bus. He asked how people manage to survive over here. Good question really.
I wonder why people chose to settle in cold places like this in the first place. And why do we stay? Another good question. Oh well. But it is the most beautiful place to live in the summer. But then, I might be a little biased on that assessment. Summer. It is such a beautiful thought. Sitting on the deck with my morning coffee. Having bears join me on the deck. Okay, that part of summer is not so good.
Walking to the river. Being attacked by thousands of mosquitoes. Okay, so I give up a little blood, minor detail. Sitting in the shade by the river on a hot summer day. Now that is nice. And of course, the flowers. Beautiful summer. Meanwhile, Muffin and I sit curled up in the recliner keeping each other warm. Well, she is curled up, not me. If I tried that I would never get uncurled again. Have a beautiful day everyone and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

Solitude. #1. Thank You!😀😺
Hello everyone! You might be wondering what happened to me today, I usually have a post out in the morning. Well, I wasn’t able to get online, because neither one of my browsers would work this morning for some reason. My internet connection was fine, just the browsers would not work. Other things on my laptop worked fine too, so I really have no idea what happened and after a couple hours I gave up and turned the laptop off for awhile. Normally I just put it to “sleep”, but this time, right off.
When I finally turned it back on again about 2 hours later, everything was working fine again. The thing I find amazing is this, no one else seems to have these problems. I try to get help from the “help” people, but that was no help at all. One guy said he had been working in “help” for 10 years and had never come across this problem before. That is not really what I like to hear. Surely other people must have problems with their laptops/computers too. I don’t include phones because they are something different entirely, and for me they are no good for working on my blog. I know other people use them and enjoy using them for blogging, but it is not for me.
Oh well, these things happen. Makes the day interesting. Sort of. So my solitude post is not really solitude. However, it is a beautiful day. We got another 4 inches (10cm) of snow overnight and about an inch (2.5cm) more today. And now the temperature is dropping as we head back to frigid temps for a couple of days. The birds are very busy at the feeders today. All of them were covered with snow this morning. I thought I had gone out early enough to clean them off before the birds arrived, but I did not quite make it.
I also want to say a big THANK YOU!!, to everyone for stopping by, following, liking and reading my blog each day!! I appreciate having all of you here with us! I now have 1,222 followers and Muffin and I are thrilled by each new follow and for all of our regular followers. Some of you have been around since the early days of my blog and that is truly fantastic! Thank you everyone for your amazing support for Muffin and I here at Steve’s Country! Have a most wonderful weekend everyone and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.
