Sunday’s Pictures #3.
Hi everyone on this lovely Sunday morning! Well, here we are with some more wildflower pictures for you to enjoy. First we had white flowers, last week was yellow and this week we are going to have purple, or violet, flowers. I hope you will like this week’s selection. The first one I think I have shown before, can’t quite remember, but here it is again anyway. These are harebells. They are found in fields and forest alike.
Next we have the cow vetch. You may remember that I showed the crown vetch a while back. This one is a slightly smaller variety and found along roads and in fields.
Next is the common vervain which is normally found along lakeshores, rivers and streams. It can grow to about 3 feet (1meter) tall.
Last in the group for today is the large-leaved aster. We have a number of different species of asters here and all grow from late summer to fall. This one is most commonly found in forest locations. Not one of the showy asters but very common.
Last on our list for today is the dog violet. Violets are small but this one is the largest of the group we have in this area and can be nearly an inch (2.5cm) across. This is actually a spring flower.
Well, that’s all for today’s wildflower pictures. Next week we look at some pink varieties. Enjoy your Sunday and God bless!

Barnabus Award #2.
Hello everyone on this beautiful Saturday evening! And while it’s evening here, some of you are actually enjoying Sunday morning. Which, to be quite honest, is kind of weird. However, I won’t get into that just now, maybe some other time. Right now I have been nominated for the Barnabus Award!! A new award and this is my second nomination for it. That’s exciting! I was given this award by Autumn, who has a nice blog and writes about a variety of different subjects. So if you have never checked her out, now is a good time to do so! Well, after you have finished reading this award anyway. Okay. I’m terrible. Thank you so very much Autumn for giving me this award, I greatly appreciate that you would think of me for this!!!
The Barnabas Award is presented in recognition of the encouragement and inspiration a blogger brings to their readers.
How This Award Works:
Thank the person who nominated you, and share their blog. Think of five bloggers that encourage and inspire you and nominate them. List five things about yourself and answer the questions. Lastly, ask your nominees five questions. Why five? Because it is the number that signifies grace.
Five Things About Myself:
- I like to sit outside early in the morning with a cup of coffee and enjoy all the natural beauty around me.
- Though it has happened literally dozens and dozens of times, I still get excited when a bird comes and sits on my hand.
- I am single, never been married.
- I am more of an introvert now than I was 6 months ago.
- I am not tall.
Questions From Autumn:
What’s the last thing you Googled? Well, I don’t normally google, usually I chuckle or just laugh right our loud, but…Meow, meow, meow!!!😼 What? Oh. Google, not giggle. Right. Okay. And my answer is…Snakes.😂😹
Last movie you watched that made you cry? Oh my. 🤔 I don’t normally watch movies that make me cry. I like happy movies. I really don’t remember. 🤔🙄 If I did it must have been a long time ago.🤪
Your favorite ice cream flavor? Butterscotch swirl!! 🤸♂️🍦 Meow!!😺 Muffin agrees.😂😹
If you could be any fictional character, who would you be? Myself.😀 The way I see it, I must be a fictional character already.🤔 Nobody real could be like me.🤪😜🙄
If you could live anyplace, where would you live? (Including fictional universes and places.) Please remember everyone, I was asked this question and I have to answer honestly. 😀 And my answer is…a Nice warm place!!🌴⛱ MEOW! 😸 Muffin agrees! Amazing.😂😹
Thank you once again Autumn for this wonderful award! And now, 5 questions for my nominees:
- What is your favorite day of the week and why?
- Is there some place in your own country that you have never seen that you would like to see?
- Do you think you will still be blogging one year from now?
