Long overdue blog update. I have given up on posting a weekly bird project and a weekly recipe for the time being. Way too busy right now and doing the nightly haiku is all I can muster the extra time (and energy) for these days. I did make a new lemon cake last week, which I will probably post sometime in the future, but for now I just have to post these haikus so I feel like I have accomplished something in the past month or so!
#69
Tapas and music
A Madeleine Peyreoux show
In our living room
#70
We took a joy ride
An old-fashioned Sunday drive
up on the parkway
#71
Overwhelmed by stuff
I have to do while on break
So, is this a break?
#72
Breakfast with Jimmy
at Early Girl Eatery
So very yummy!
#73
Sequins and sparkles
The costumes shimmer and shine
They dance in my mind!
#74
My night spent alone
All quiet and confusing
Filled with bad T.V.
#75
I delight in the
pink blossoms of cherry trees
falling like raindrops
#76
Good Irish blessings
with corned beef, cabbage, and beer
and good friends so dear.
#77
Family returns
There's time to enjoy the yard
Full of spring beauty
#78
Chickadees sing sweet
songs of springtime
flitting through the trees
#79
The sky turned purple
mountains majesty aglow
with each lightning flash
#80
The bees swarm around
the pink cherry tree blossoms
buzzing a spring song
#81
The chicken coop is
coming right along, so long
not much more waiting
#82
A trip to Charlotte
for shopping at Ikea
Swedish smorgasbord
#83
I begin the test
answering essay questions
that rattle my brain
#84
The test is over
A few hours left for me
for wine and T.V.
#85
Venus and Jupiter
and the moon shine bright tonight
such a lovely sight
#86
Girl's night at Connie's
Up too late on a school night
Much laughter and wine
#87
Almost ready for
laying hens and farm fresh eggs
to fill my new coop
#88
Another birthday
42 and still counting
in my blessed life
#89
A birthday party
I celebrate with good friends
I am so lucky
#90
Three sweet little hens
Came to live with us today
Please be happy here!
#91
"Cluck! I laid an egg"
said the big black hen proudly
and then came two more...
#92
I can't help but feel
This place is not right for me
So what is my place?
#93
They say all is well
that ends well, I hope that's true
When truth is hurtful
#94
Enjoying the breeze
By the weeping cherry tree
Troubles far away
#95
Dark clouds hunker down
Buckets full of rain falling
The earth runs away
#96
A morning for birds
Chickadees, finches, titmouse
A woodpecker, too
#97
Special time with Tripp
in Asheville at CityMac
and the music store
#98
April 8th, Easter
Hunting for candy-filled eggs
in the flower beds
#99
My hands are filthy
From working in the garden
Such satisfaction
#100
Meeting followed by
meeting a long day at work
Still time for dessert
#101
Off to Gatlinburg
for a spring break getaway
smokey mountains call
#102
A big turkey struts
A young black bear looks for food
Spring in Tennessee
#103
On this day I hide
pretending to be away
not answering life
#104
A birthday party
for Ellen with lemon cake
we celebrate life
#105
Four small bird eggs wait
for mother bird to find them
nest tossed in the wind
#106
Spring break is over
counting down to summertime
five, four, three, two, one
#107
A glass of red wine
as I watch my chickens dine
Life at its finest!
#108
The steady drizzle
Cool rain on a gray day
makes my head cloudy
#109
The week flew by but
not today, such a long day
Ready for Friday
#110
Wise words Dr. Suess
The Lorax movie tells all
Listen to the trees
#111
Sweet discovery
The chickadee eggs are safe
Mama bird found them!
