For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good morning everyone on this mild Sunday morning in late November! 😃 Not too many winters that I can say that, though it does happen on occasion. Sometimes even December can be a very mild month. Sometimes. Rarely. But it has happened before, maybe it will happen again. Okay, I’m dreaming. It’s nice to dream sometimes though. Especially when winter becomes cold. But that’s for another post. But mild winter weather always brings a smile along with it.🙂😺 But no matter what the weather we should wear a smile with us all day long. A smile always brings sunshine into our lives and for those around us. Yes, I have said it before, and probably will say it again.😁🌞Now on to some sunny pics for today…
And we start with a beautiful orange daylily above. Daylilies are one of my favorite flowers, next to roses.
And here we have a very beautiful light pink peony. They are huge flowers and do require a little help to stand up straight, but a very hardy flower, great for our climate.
I showed the above flower a few days ago, but didn’t know the name. I finally identified it today as the blue gilia (gilia rigidula). I added the extra name due to the fact there are other blue gilia also. It’s a native wildflower of the southwest US and Mexico. How it got to be up here is rather odd, and they likely won’t survive. I got to enjoy it one season anyway.
I hope you have enjoyed these flowers today, have a Happy Sunday and God bless!

Good morning on this milder winter Saturday. Such strange weather we are having, but I do like the milder weather so I won’t complain. It was so nice to have that sunny day yesterday. The sun was shining so beautifully into my apartment. Muffin enjoyed sleeping in her patch of sunshine once again. I’m sure she has missed that little joy. And I managed to get a few sunny winter pics today as well. It was a good day for sure. We should always take some time to enjoy the little pleasures of each day. Here are today’s pics for you to enjoy…
A beautiful dark maroon hollyhock with bright sunny center.
And here we have a nice bright white delphinium. And that concludes the 3 different colors of delphiniums in my landlord’s garden.
I hope you enjoyed today’s selection, have a wonderful weekend everyone and God bless!
