For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Daily Pics 2020…#45.
Good morning once again from the frigid north! However, it is going to get milder today and on the weekend, so hopefully we are done with this brutal cold of the last few days. Nothing like getting a fresh blast of cabin fever! That’s probably why Muffin goes so crazy in the morning these days. And in the afternoon too for that matter. But the sun has been shining so beautifully for most of the week and that is always a plus, even if the temps are minus. The sun shines in through the windows giving everything inside a nice golden glow. Even the plants and flowers take on a new look as the sun’s rays gently touch their leaves and flowers. Muffin follows the sun around the room enjoying the extra warmth provided. I enjoy looking at the sun playing with the trees and birds outside as those golden beams of light land on the different surfaces and bringing out the colors of the birds making them sparkle.
But there’s nothing quite like the summer beauty of sunshine…
A nice sunny and warm late spring picture at one of our local area parks showing off some beautiful pink flowers on cherry trees.
And here we have a lovely cedar waxwing in the apple tree eating the petals off the flowers.
Both of these pics certainly give a nice sunshiny warmth to our cold weather and hopefully a nice sunny look even if your weather is already nice. I hope you have enjoyed these pics, have a fabulous Friday and God bless!

Touring My Town, #5.
Hi everyone and welcome back to another look at my town. The pictures today are from the beginning of winter when there was only a tiny bit of snow on the ground. Today we will look at a few general pics of the town from different angles showing that we are fairly modern around here even though we are kind of an isolated town. Kind of funny calling this an isolated town and yet we are located on the Trans Canada Highway. That’s the only highway going east to west and coast to coast in this large country of ours. But still, we are in the far northern part of our province, even though this province goes much farther north than this town. And people live up there too. Maybe I will talk more of the isolated part another time. Meanwhile, let’s take a look at some more pics of my town.
In the above photo we are looking north along our main street and the photo just below we are looking south on main street.
The next street over, in the photo below, we find at the corner a small restaurant called the Hungry Pug Cafe.
And, above, we have one of our senior citizens apartment buildings. There is another one, the same size, just to the left of this one. Both are scenically located next to the railroad yards.
Also next to the apartments is this wire enclosed walkway over the railroad yards for a safer crossing for residents on the north side of the tracks.
And here is a picture of Ye Olde Chip Truck, in business since 1957 and located at this spot since then. The fries here are world famous and really are amazingly good. I’m sure I could eat these every day. Unfortunately it is located far from where I live. Sigh. Oh well, can’t have everything.😂😹
There is still more to show yet but that will have to wait for our next look in this series which will be next week. I hope you are enjoying this tour of my town and that you will continue to join me each week as we look at more of this quiet (?) little town. Until then, enjoy your day/evening and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.
