For a smile as wide as a country sunrise

My good friend Lydia asked me to write a poem for her to use on her blog. The poem was to be about moonlight. Now that she has used it on her blog, I would like to share it here as well. I hope you will enjoy it.
Moonlight Delight
Moonlight truly shines so bright,
Wondrous scene, such a delight.
Under this moon all does shine,
E’en the flowers glow so fine.
Moonlight fills the meadow fast,
In the forest, shadows cast.
Moonlight sits atop the hill,
Spreading light while all is still.
Shining now upon the lake,
Wondrous sight for all awake.
Pearly white from yonder moon,
Mixed with call of distant loon.
That full moon, with beams so bright,
Gives to all a wondrous sight.
Light, so pure, from that large moon,
Sinking low, and gone so soon.

Hi everyone! It’s another cold morning here, very cold, -29C (-21F), but feels like -39C (-38F). But the sun will be shining, still dark right now. It always feels so nice with the sun shining, even if it is very cold. This is perfect weather to enjoy a nice hot cup of coffee while watching as the birds wake up and start coming to the feeders, all fluffed out and cute. Though they might feel a bit differently about that last part. As I gaze out the window waiting for the first bird to arrive, Muffin jumps up, sits in front of me and swishes her tail back and forth across my face. Thanks. Oh well, perhaps a better way to start the day is with some beautiful flowers once again…
A nice bright orange daylily following a thundering afternoon shower.
And a different variety of dark orange Asiatic lily on a warm summer day.
There are a large number of lilies and daylilies that grow well in our short summers. That is a nice thing, they provide a lot of bright color. Well, I hope everyone has a splendid Sunday and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.
