“Just one smile immensely increases the beauty of the universe.” ~
Good Sunday morning, dear friends. I hope this finds you well and under blue skies. Today, I thought I would share a few smiles. Smiling is good for all of us, especially during difficult days. So, make yourself comfy and enjoy some of the things that made me smile. I hope they will make you smile too.
On a side note, if you had all these Lab puppies, you would never stop smiling. They arrive in the world happy.
“It’s hard not to feel happy when you make someone smile.” ~
I love to read signs, they always seem to give me a big smile or a laugh. And, they usually contain a certain amount of truth or a solid message.
I don’t know about you, but when I receive a ‘real’ note or a letter from someone I adore, it truly is ‘love delivered.’
“We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.” ~ Mother Teresa
The animal world never ceases to provide smiles. Our treasured pets as well as the dear creatures who reside in nature have much to offer.
This guy is about to sneeze or he is having a bad day. Either way, I smiled.
Now, I have been owned by many dear kitties and none of them would have been happy with this hat.
I have felt this way many times in my life. Wonder what has upset him or her?
Our home in Virginia had a four hundred foot driveway. I can promise you we smiled when our Labrador retriever brought us the paper. It was one of her favorite things to do.
Such decisions!
Caught!
Who wants to go for a boat ride?
Ah, it is Buggs. I will write about him later. This photo is exactly what he looks like, but he has a taste for delphiniums, not roses.
“A smile is the light in your window that tells others that there is a caring, sharing person inside.” ~ Denis Waitley
Is there anyone who doesn’t smile when the opportunity presents itself to enjoy a country drive on an autumn day? And finding a roadside stand is a bonus.
Or, a shop with an interesting name. Should one venture inside or remain outside?
And to find the perfect spot to soak in nature’s glory. What a day.
“Smile more. Smiling can make you and others happy.” ~
Dear friends, thanks so much for your visit. I hope you have found a smile or two.
I wish you and yours a magnificent autumn day.
And…
May your week ahead be full of smiles!

All those signs made me smile! I’ve realized that I go through the day looking very serious, so I’ve decided to start smiling more, even when I’m alone! It lifts my spirits. Enjoy your Sunday, Sandra!
Good morning, Lorrie. Smiles do “lift our spirits.” My mom would always say, “Where is your happy face?” And, of course, I would smile. I always try to remember that.
Have a lovely day and week ahead. Thanks so much for your visit.
Yes,your post made me smile!Adorable pics! Thank you !Have a blessed Sunday.
Oh, Maristella, I am so pleased. Thank you for your kind words and your visit. Have a beautiful day.❤
Thank you for the smiles. I think that is one of the things I miss with everyone wearing masks. You can’t see their smiles.
Good morning, Penny. I am happy you found a few smiles. That is so true about the wearing of the masks. But, when the day comes, and it will, that we no longer have to wear them there will be no price on the value of seeing smiles again. Wishing you a lovely day.
Wonderful photos for this gloomy Sunday in the capital city. We’re having Delta’s salutatory remnants all weekend, but nothing compared to those hardest hit in the Deep South.
Good morning, Rita. We are to have the same weather beginning about midday today. I don’t miss those terrible storms and so feel for those who are in their path. I am happy you enjoyed the photos. Have a great day and week ahead.
Sandra, I love every image that you shared! But the opening one with the Lab puppies brought a big smile. Thank you for your lovely Sunday posts. May we always wear a smile…Have a wonderful Sunday, my friend!
Dear Pam, I also love the Lab puppies. But then, I adore Labrador retrievers. We have had two, both black) and they are an exceptional breed. If I were younger I would be tempted for all five of those puppies in the truck. But, they are high energy dogs and they can turn a piece of string into play. I am happy you enjoyed the post and that it made you smile. Hope you have been spared the wrath of the storm, and that your week ahead will be full of smiles.❤
Happy Sunday, Sandra! This post definitely brought me lots of smiles this morning! Those sweet puppies are adorable! I also loved the squirrel picture. I have so much fun watching them during the day. They are always up to something. Take care, sweet friend, and have a most beautiful and blessed day!
Hi Shannon, and a happy Sunday to you as well. I am happy the post brought you smiles and yes, squirrels are fun little characters. Wishing you a wonderful day and a most happy week!❤
I’m smiling!!!!! Thanks dear Sandra.
Hi, Bonnie ~ I can see your big smile. Happy you enjoyed the post. Have a great day and week, my friend.❤
You did your job well, my friend. Loads of lovely smiles from all these photos, but especially those sweet animals. Bunnies and cats and dogs with the paper, bears with a canoe. Oh, so much food for the imagination here!
Hi Jeanie. So happy you enjoyed the post. I thought of you when I found the cat wearing the hat. The cat looked a little like Lizzie – but I don’t think Lizzie would be too impressed with the hat. Jeanie, you could turn some of these photos into great cards. Have a great day and week ahead. Stay well!
Always lots of smiles from your blog, Sandra. Labs are the best. I love the photo of the kitty wearing the hat–looks like it’s thinking, “Why do they do these things to me?” lol! Gloomy day today due to remnants of the storm, but so fortunate that’s all we’re incurring. Hope the week ahead is a lovely one for you, one with lots and lots of smiles. Hugs!
Good morning, dear Bobbi. Many thanks for your kind words and I am happy you enjoyed the post. I agree with you about the Labs and the photo of the kitty. Folks always want to dress kitties.
We were to have rainy weather on Sunday, but all that arrived was a little drizzle. I sat through many hurricanes when we lived in Va. Beach, I don’t miss them and certainly feel for all those who endure them – they are dreadful.
Bobbi, I did go to your Pinterest boards and my goodness you do love autumn. Also, I discovered you and I have much in common. The love of beautiful things and an appreciation of beauty.
Have a wonderful week, my friend. And, until we meet again – enjoy these autumn days. Be well.❤
