Steve`s Country
For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Daily Pics #118.
Good morning everyone! How are you all on this Monday? This post marks the 300th post here on Steve’s Country this year! A new milestone for Muffin and I! Although for some reason she didn’t seem to be too excited by the fact. Actually, she yawned. Sometimes her timing for things is uncanny. Like she really knows what I’m saying. I know she doesn’t, but still, the timing can be amazing. The days are getting so nice and long now. It isn’t fully dark until after 9 pm. And morning, according to Muffin, begins at 4 am. I do like to get up early during the summer, but it’s still dark at 4 am right now. But she gets up even earlier so by 4 she is full of energy, doing her kangaroo dance all over the bed…and me. I open an eye and she starts to purr. I close my eye and she licks my nose. So, I move a little, she thinks I’m getting up and jumps off the bed. Hmm, not bad. Except it doesn’t work, if I don’t get up, she’s back up and so we’re now both up. Oh well, nothing wrong with a longer day, get more done, providing I can stay awake.
And now, for some more pics from my last walk to the river on Saturday…
Above we have the common loon, one of my all time favorite birds. If you have never heard the call of the loon, you are really missing a treat.
Above we have a male merganser standing up and flapping it’s wings. Perhaps showing off a bit for his mate? Probably not as I have seen them do this even when they are alone. There we have our pics for today, thanks for stopping by, stay safe, have a great Monday and God bless!

Something’s Fishy.
Hi everyone! I thought it was time for some more humor to share with all of you. Hope it gives you at least a chuckle. This chuckle is from my collection collected over the years, but not written by me.
———————————————————————————————-
A man was stopped by a game warden recently with two ice chests full of live fish in water, leaving a river well known for its fishing.
The game warden asked the man, “Do you have a license to catch those fish?”
“Naw, my friend, I ain’t got no license. These here are my pet fish.”
“Pet fish?”
“Yep. Every night I take these fish down to the river and let ’em swim’ round for a while. Then I whistle and they jump right back into this ice chest and I take ’em home.”
“That’s a bunch of bunk! Fish can’t do that!”
The man looked at the game warden for a moment and then said, It’s the truth. I’ll show you. It really works.”
“Okay, I’ve GOT to see this!”
The man poured the fish into the river and stood and waited.
After several minutes, the game warden turned to him and said, “Well?”
“Well, what?” said the man.”
When are you going to call them back?”
“Call who back?”
“The FISH!”
“What fish?”
Enjoy your evening everyone, stay safe and God bless!
