For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Daily Pics 2020, #74.
Good morning and Happy Saturday everyone! It is a bit chilly out there again this morning with a temp of -18C (0F). I went shopping yesterday. Wow, that was crazy. People were out buying everything they could get their hands on. Shelves were bare, especially certain shelves. People coughing and sneezing all over the place. I couldn’t even find cleaning supplies. One guy had a cart overflowing with paper towels. This stuff wasn’t on sale, people were just panicking. Oddly, people were not buying a lot of food, just other stuff. They don’t want to eat? So I was able to buy food anyway. It’s going to be a bit hard to finish my cleaning however. Sigh. Hopefully the store will get more in stock one of these days.
But on a more cheery note, let’s look at some bright and beautiful flowers…
Starting off with this “Canada anemone” which is a nice bright white and looks great with a background of greenery.
And here we have an equally bright “fringed loosestrife” which grows on the hill behind my apartment. Well, I hope you like this bright addition to your day. I thought a bit of cheery brightness would be good these days. So although some of the pics will be of the same types of flowers used before, I will try to use pics taken from a different angle.
I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

The Decade Tag!
Hi everyone! I was tagged for this one quite a while ago and unfortunately I forgot all about it! That is just so terrible, sorry about that Stu. I was tagged by Stu for this and it is quite an interesting tag since we have begun a new decade and, and, it really doesn’t feel any different.😂 But thank you so much Stu for the tag, it is much appreciated.
To play along with this tag:
1- Please share a link to the creator of the tag- jesusluvsall.wordpress.com
2- Share some highlights for you over the past decade and if you want, a few low points
3- Tag whoever you wish to.
4- Ask them some questions
5- Use any picture appropriate for such a tag.
Some highlights and whatever over the last 10 years:
- I have lived in 5 different apartments during that time.😳😜🙄
- I lived in one place for slightly less than 3 months.🤪
- I have moved a few times as you can guess.🤔
- I lost my 2 cats, Bonnie and Clyde.😥😲
- But I gained Muffin!😸
- I had to go on a gluten free diet due to being diagnosed with Celiac.😳☹
- I got a camera and started with photography!😁📷🐿🦌🦆🦅🐦🦢🦋
- And of course I started my blog 2 years ago.😀✍
- I got Muffin 6 years ago.😃😍😻😻
- My apartment flooded 4 and a half years ago.😭
- I went to France for my vacation last year!! First time going overseas. Actually, my first time in a plane too. But it was GREAT!😁🌞🌴🌴😎✈
- And, of course, I now have Muffin!😃😺(she’s watching me)
Stu’s Questions:
1. What is the most important lesson you have learned in the past ten years? Walking backwards won’t turn back the time, so may as well keep walking forward and enjoy it.
2. Can you share a moment where you were laughing so hard you had tears in your eyes? There’s been a lot of times, but then I would have to mention other people, so that won’t work. Good question though. But perhaps on a post coming up soon!
3. How many jobs have you had in the past ten years? Hmm, you didn’t define the word “job”. Blogging could be a job. Or photography. Or housecleaning. Or cooking. Or baking. Lots of things. But I know you’re talking about something else so, the answer is…0! The joys of early retirement. Sort of.
4. Where do you see yourself ten years from now? Being older. And hopefully still blogging.
I am tagging:

Now for my questions:(always the hardest part of these things😂)
- What place did you enjoy visiting the most in the past 10 years?
- How many different places have you lived in during the past 10 years? (houses, apartments, flats)
- Have you made any changes to the way you do things, in the past 10 years?
- Is there anything specific you would like to do in the next 10 years?
Please do not feel obligated to participate in this tag, it is strictly voluntary.
There we have it for this one, but there will be more awards and tags coming up in the days ahead. Have a wonderful weekend and God bless!
