Steve`s Country
For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Daily Pics 2020…#12.
Good morning and Happy Sunday everyone! Here we are at the start of another week. Another week of inspiration. Another week of goals to reach. Another week of anticipation. Another week of appreciation. Another week with so much beauty, so many smiles to share, so much sunshine to enjoy. And always remember, that even on cloudy days, the sun still shines. Clouds are actually very necessary for us, to help us grow stronger, to help us stand firm. But the sun is still there shining brightly. In reality it brings us the clouds and is there to bring that joy as the clouds move out of the way until they are needed again.
Whether sunny or cloudy where you are today, here is a little extra sunshine to enjoy…
Here is one of our wildflowers, the crown vetch, one of several different species of vetch in our area.
And here we have the cow vetch, a slightly more common vetch in this area, also smaller and not quite as showy.
Oops, how did this one get in here? Oh well, a bonus for today. The white flowers are Labrador tea and the lavender/pink flowers are pale laurel. Both of these flowers love wet areas, swamps, anywhere with plenty of water.
Well, that’s our wildflowers for today, I hope you have enjoyed this selection. Have a wonderful Sunday and God bless!

Nature’s Art…#04.
Hello again everyone! Those poor little birds out there in this cold. And it’s going to get worse this coming week, terrible thought. So I won’t think about it, maybe it will go away. Somehow I doubt it though. Muffin certainly enjoyed her birthday yesterday, lots of energy, lots of playtime, lots of cake. I think I enjoyed it too. 😂😹 This is good weather to stay indoors, wrapped in a blanket, drinking coffee and eating leftover birthday cake. Yes, I had some for breakfast. Don’t want to waste it after all. Sigh. That “cabin fever” is hitting again. Basically it means I would like to do something different, but the weather won’t allow that just yet.
So we may as well enjoy some more art found in nature…
Some more summer flowers gone to seed. Even in winter those summer flowers still have some beauty.
I may have used these before, but they are quite interesting so here they are again. I think maybe I will use more summer time art in nature from now on, but still include winter art as well.
I hope you all enjoy your weekend and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.
