Haiku: Oh the sweet yellow
Unmatched spring beauty
Sturdy and among the first

Haiku: Red-tailed
Effortless soaring
keen hunter with strong talons
A majestic hawk

Golden Brodie digs up unusual stuff on #7
Do you know who #7 was? Hint: Initials AJ…yes, you got it…Andrew Jackson. His history is loaded with goodie dog treats… with factoids that will raise your awareness of this man who was loved by many, yet a very controversial figure. Like this…
Jackson’s parents emigrated from Ireland…Jackson killed a man in a duel and carried a bullet in his body as a result of this stand-off…”Old Hickory” won the popular vote for president three times…He was the target of the first attempted presidential assassination…He adopted two Native American boys…and much more…”Old Hickory stabled his steady stead at the White House…Sam Patch…a white stallion that he rode during the War of 1812…AJ also had a racehorse, Truxton and an African grey parrot named Poll…who cussed like a sailor, offending many guests.
Golden interesting…

Hush on the landscape
Each unique flake dances down
Finally resting

Haiku: Cherry Blossoms
Stay closed pink puffy
Braving the late winter winds
Patiently waiting
yet to open
Haiku poem by PamelaWLucas 3/10/17
The National Park Service predicts that the cherry blossoms will reach peak bloom sometime between March 19 and 22. They revised their forecast on March 8 in light of colder than expected temperatures forecast for the coming week. Their initial prediction, issued on March 1, was for March 14 to 17.
Natural world Haiku: Lily of the valley
Delicate white cups
Silent bells line their green stems
Fragrant and tiny
