Steve`s Country
For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Daily Pics #9.
Hi everyone on this cooler November day! Still cloudy up here in the north country. Getting to be a normal thing it seems. Oh well, it’s one of those things we can’t change. So why not enjoy it? So I look at sunny pictures. Yep, that’s right. Okay, I have a reason. I need to sort them out properly so I can find things more easily. So this is a good time to do that since I can’t really do much else. If you can’t do one thing, then do something else. Don’t let the clouds get you down. So, bright pics are coming…
Above is another, but different, pink hollyhock. There is another different shade of pink as well, plus other colors, in my landlord’s flower garden.
And now a nice bright white Iceland poppy. These white ones are really quite beautiful to see in real life.
Well, there we have today’s selection for you to enjoy. I hope everyone has a nice, bright day ahead! God bless!

A Chuckle Or Two.
Hello everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful day. I thought perhaps we could have a little more humor to end our day, or for some of you, to begin your day. So sit back, relax and maybe have a chuckle or two. These are from my long list of jokes I have accumulated over the years. They are not something I made up myself however. I’m not quite that clever. Anyway, enjoy!
Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother.
The first said, “I built a big house for our mother.”
The second said, “I sent her a Mercedes with a driver.”
The third smiled and said, “I’ve got you both beat. You remember how mom enjoyed looking up definitions of words in the dictionary all the time? And you know she can’t see very well anymore. So I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire dictionary. I hired some people and it took them 10 years to teach him. He’s one of a kind. Mama just has to name the word, and the parrot recites the definition.”
Soon thereafter, mom sent out her letters of thanks:
“Milton,” she wrote one son, “The house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house.”
“Gerald,” she wrote to another, “I am too old to travel. I stay most of the time at home, so I rarely use the Mercedes. And the driver is so rude!”
“Dearest Donald,” she wrote to her third son, “You have the good sense to know what your mother likes”.
“The chicken was delicious.”
Last year I entered a marathon. The race started and immediately I was the last of the runners. It was embarrassing.
The guy who was in front of me, second to last, was making fun of me. He said, “Hey buddy, how does it feel to be last?”
I replied: “You really want to know?”
Then I dropped out of the race.
I hope you have enjoyed a chuckle or two. Have a great day and God bless!
