For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good Monday morning everyone! Another chilly day up here in the north, but milder days are on the way later this week. One of those up and down months with temps. Better than always going down anyway. There’s always something positive, even in the midst of a bunch of negative. I’m positive about that. So just look around and you will start to see all those blessings in your life. Even though it’s cold outside, there is still a lot of little blessings out there. I’m talking about friendly little birds that are so willing to trust me that they will land on my hand to get their food. So that will be today’s pictures for you to enjoy.
First on the list, above, is one of my favorite little birds, the black-capped chickadee.
Above we have the red-breasted nuthatch claiming his meal.
Finally we have a pine siskin enjoying his meal on my hand last winter when the temp was -30C (-22F). Unfortunately after 20 minutes I could no longer feel my hand so had to retreat indoors. But after a couple hours I was back out there.
That’s it for today’s pictures, I do hope you all have a wonderful Monday and God bless!

Good morning everyone! Today is Remembrance Day here in Canada. A day to remember those men and women who fought and died that we might enjoy the freedom we have today. It began the 11th hour, the 11th day, the 11th month when World War I ended. Originally called Armistice Day, it was changed to Remembrance Day in 1931. The poppy has become a symbol of that remembrance that we wear before and up to Remembrance Day. The poppy pictured above came from a seed of a poppy from Flander’s Fields. My dad served in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II. We should never forget those who fought for our freedom, and those who still serve to keep our freedom.



Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a wonderful Monday and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.
