Don’t worry, summer is coming. Here‘s a birthday girl, today, singing about summer and winter.
Today is a great day to express my thanks to all who helped me create today’s post and to you — of course! — for being here, today.

Have a GREAT day! 🙂
Today is the day I thank you for this GREAT comment.

Today is a happy day, Ann. My dear wife Karen and I are taking a day trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

Today is the day I’m happy for you, Mark!
So many things I could celebrate today! But I will choose just two: a birthday and a holiday. I choose Ansel Adams because of the beauty he brought to our world, and I choose Muffin Day because, well, I love muffins!
Today is the day I celebrate the beauty you bring here, Emilie!
Today is another beautiful sunny day here. I’ll probably go for a walk and then start cleaning out part of the basement and getting ready for my short week at school.
Today is the day I appreciate your beautiful, sunny comment, Carol.
Happy President’s Day! I hope you have a fun day.
In most of Canada it is either family day or another holiday. But in British Columbia it is a work day. We had Family Day last week. Until a couple of years ago, there was no holiday in February at all.
Today is the day I acknowledge that I almost wrote about the complexities of today in Canada but decided not to. I hope you are having a happy day, Maureen.

It’s sunny and unusually warm where I am which makes this a good day to quietly pay tribute to one of today’s birthdays by saying, how sweet it is.
I am spending family day with a dear friend in my studio. Charles will pop in to visit and chat. I’ll visit my mother who is still in hospital and take Beaumont, who is still recovering from surgery, for a walk. And hopefully my youngest daughter and her partner will come for dinner!
Beautiful clouds, btw! Oh Happy Day! 💗
Beautiful comment, Louise. Happy day to you! <3
Stand your ground, it’s sacred – love that Ann! Happy President’s and Family Day to you. <3

Today is the day I appreciate you again, Lisa!
Those clouds are extraordinary. As is Nancy Wilson!
You’re extraordinary!
Why did no no one tell me it was National muffin day?!
Excellent question.
I can’t trump that
I can’t trump anything these days, Derrick.
