For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Hope…A Poem.
Hope
Gone are all the colors bold,
Trees look barren and so cold.
All the life that they once had,
Now gone till spring, oh how sad.
Little birds singing so loud,
Brought such life through sun and cloud.
Now those birds have flown away,
Leaving such a silent day.
Storms of snow will come so fast,
Soon the lake will freeze at last.
Bitter cold will follow too,
All this I know, to be true.
Then will come the warmth of spring,
Bringing life to everything.
Leaves will clothe the trees once more,
And birds will sing, like before.

Friday’s Pictures #3.
Hello everyone on this first day of November! Hard to believe that another month is gone already. It’s cloudy, -2 (28F) and a little light snow. Muffin is looking out the window dreaming of warmer days and chipmunks. All my little chipmunks have gone to bed for the winter, just Choco the squirrel still around. I have lost most of my birds due to the fact I can’t make a new bird feeder for them right now. It will be a dull winter without my birds around. Muffin agrees. Anyway, let’s get to the pictures for today!
From the top of this hill a person can see a long distance and really enjoy the colors of autumn that are gone for another year.
Above we have the broad leaved arrowhead, one of our water loving flowers.
Above we have another look at Sir George, my friendly herring gull. He and his mate, plus others, enjoy coming to my feeder in the spring and summer looking for food. He is a large bird with a 5 foot (150cm) wingspan.
A busy bee gathering nectar from this nice lavender bachelor’s button.
Well, a different mix of pictures for today, hope you have enjoyed them. Happy Friday to everyone and God bless!
Steve and McLeod.
