For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Sunday’s Pictures #15.
Good morning on this rather chilly Sunday here at Steve’s Country! I hope all of you are enjoying your weekend, and yes, almost over for some of you. Weekends do seem to go so fast sometimes. Kind of like summer. We are so excited that summer has begun and suddenly, it’s gone. At least that’s the way it is up here in the north. Winter is our long season, usually 6 months, sometimes 7. On occasion it is only 5 months. We haven’t had one of those short winters for a long time, so maybe that means….Anyway, we can still enjoy some summer with pictures, which is what we will do today. So grab a cup of coffee and enjoy!
This little beauty above, the Viola, is one of our earliest spring flowers. Though a lot of people consider them to be a weed, I think they are a very pretty flower.
Above is a very lovely, large Iris from my landlord’s garden.
A very bright white Potentilla above, with guest.
There we have today’s selection of bright and sunny flowers reminding me of warmer days that were, and looking forward to their return once again. Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a wonderful Sunday and God bless!

Just A Few Extra.
Hi everyone! It’s another cloudy day with light snow falling. We do seem to be getting a lot of cloudy weather, actually since mid August. Just not very many sunny days during that time. But, the sun always shines, even on cloudy days. Something we need to remember when those “cloudy” times come into our lives, the sun is still there shining away. It’s up to us whether we want to see it or not. Just look around, there are always positive things for us to see each day. That’s the sunshine that comes into our lives. It can be friends, family, pets, birds singing or beautiful flowers. So time for us to look at some more of the beauty I found here this summer in some of our wildflowers.
Above we have a very pretty, though small, flower named Smooth Hedge Nettle.
The wildflower above is the Water Hemlock, very beautiful but also very poisonous.
Above we have the Spotted Joe-Pye-Weed, a beautiful wildflower that likes wet areas and grows up to 7 feet (2meters) tall.
Just a few of our slightly more odd wildflowers for this cloudy day. Thank you for joining me again today, I hope you are enjoying your weekend and God bless!
