For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Hello everyone and Merry Christmas! It is cloudy but fairly mild today with a temperature of 12F (-11C). There are even a few snowflakes falling lazily from those clouds above us. I decided to do laundry this morning since I figured everyone would be too busy with other things. I got down to the laundry room later than usual too and it wasn’t long after I arrived, that another man arrived to do his laundry.
He had the same idea as me, no one else would be doing laundry on Christmas morning. Then a third man showed up, then a woman showed up. It was busier than normal, with everyone thinking the same thing, it wouldn’t be busy this morning. Oh well. Here is today’s photo for you to enjoy.

There are so many dried grasses and plants in later summer and each adds their own touch of beauty to the landscape.
I hope you have a wonderful day with family and/or friends and God bless!

Hi again everyone! Today I begin showing some of my favorite bird photos, and I will do one each day until the end of the year. These photos are not necessarily my top favorite bird photos, but they are still among my favorites.
Some you might have seen before, others you probably have not seen, since I have not shown them, although I likely have shown photos of that particular species before, just not the same photo. Did I confuse you now? I think I might have confused myself, which is why I asked. Sigh.

Anyway, we start off with the White-throated Sparrow above, one of our common summer visitors.
Merry Christmas everyone and God bless!
