For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
FOR YOU AND ME
The sun is climbing over the hill,
And all of nature is so still,
Yet birds are singing from bush and tree,
Singing always for you and me.
Now, sitting beside this calm lake,
It’s nice to watch things come awake.
A gull flies past so effortlessly,
Such beauty there for you and me.
A loon is swimming right over there,
It’s mournful call flows through the air.
There, a mighty eagle now I see,
Such majesty for you and me.
Upon the water the sun does shine,
How do people complain and whine?
Why not take time to stop and see,
The wonders there, for you and me.

Greetings everyone! I hope your weekend has been great! It has been quite hot here for a change, though unfortunately it came so suddenly after all that colder than normal weather that it seemed to affect me adversely. That almost landed me a trip to our local ER, but instead my PSW’s checked on me frequently throughout the day yesterday and today.

Milk Vetch.
Oh well, I still enjoy hot weather, it just sneaked up rather suddenly and it’s going to cool down a bit this week.

Cow Vetch.
Well, here are today’s wildflowers for your enjoyment and this will be the last installment for this series until late fall or early winter.

Clintonia.
Instead I should hopefully get some new garden flower pictures soon to share with you on Sunday. Have a great week everyone and God bless!
