For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Daily Pics 2020…#47.
Good morning everyone on another cold morning! Wow, that cold air moved in with such a blast of strong north wind yesterday, amazing how fast the temperature fell in 3 hours. Just a reminder that winter is still around for a while yet. Those bird feeders were really blowing around out there too. Amazing that the birds were able to hold onto those plastic perches. But there they sat munching away on the sunflower seeds like nothing was happening. Just another day for them eating their favorite food. Hmm, Muffin’s head just popped up when I typed food. It’s like she knows. I think that old cabin fever must be getting to me again too. If I’m starting to think like that. The joys of winter in Canada.
So let’s head off to a different joy with some nice summer time pics…
First we have these beautiful pink hydrangeas, this pic provided by my friend Ross from Italy. Such a wonderful bunch of large flower clusters! Too bad we can’t grow these colored ones around here, just too cold for them.
And continuing over in Europe, here is a view from the Parc Phoenix in Nice from my vacation there last year.
Both show some nice summertime sunshine and warmth as well! Thank you for taking a look today, I hope you all have a happy Sunday and God bless!

Weekend Smiles.
Hi everyone, it’s time for a bit more humor from my collection. So, grab a cup of coffee or tea, sit back, relax and hopefully you will get a smile and maybe even a laugh or two. Enjoy!
SIGNS OF LIFE
Sign outside a hotel. ‘Help! We need inn-experienced people!’
Sign at farmer’s field= The farmer allows walkers to cross the field for free, but the bull charges.
Sign on front door= everyone in the house is a vegetarian, except the dog.
Non-smoking area= if we see you smoking, we will assume you are on fire and take appropriate action.
Sign on fence= salesmen welcome, dog food is expensive.
Optometrists office= if you don’t see what you are looking for, you have come to the right place.

Little Emily was at her first wedding and gaped at the entire ceremony. When it was over, she asked her mother, “Why did the lady change her mind?”
Her mother asked, “What do you mean?”
“Well, she went down the aisle with one man and came back with another one.”
Today more and more cities have red light cameras, to take photos of cars running red lights.
In one particular city, a man received a ticket in the mail along with a picture of himself in a car, running the red light. The fine was $200.
So the man, thinking that this just wasn’t right, got two $100 bills, took a picture of them, and sent in the picture to the police.
One week later he received a picture of a pair of handcuffs. He promptly sent the money that day.
Well, I hope you have enjoyed at least some of these chuckles from my collection of humor gathered over the years. Have a great weekend and God bless!
