Haiku: Oh the sweet yellow

Unmatched spring beauty

Sturdy and among the first

Haiku: peaking green

peaking green slivers

slender and slow to emerge

standing tall will come

Haiku: Belles ring in spring

Virginia Bluebells

Come with the whispers of spring

Blanket the landscape

First VA Bluebells - signs of an early spring
First VA Bluebells – signs of an early spring in Veronica’s garden

Haiku: Early iris

Bold little iris

Welcome showy blues of blues

Linger till spring comes

Flowers give such meaning and beauty to our lives. The iris got its name from an ancient Greek Goddess who used the rainbow to bridge heaven and earth.

Haiku: Oh deer

Stoic survivors

Gentle herds of herbivores

Wild on the landscape

Tara feeds the deer that visit her property, as well as the foxes and raccoons.

 

Yes, deer will eat your shrubs and flowers, but there are certain species they will overlook, unless they are starving.  Read up and save your garden.

Haiku: Empty House

Snug bird space ready
Shoppers come daily to view
Moving in come spring

Brodie shares about the “Big Rehearsal”

Who knew?  Stand-ins for the President Elect and the coming First Lady…stand-ins for VP Elect and his wife…practice…practice…practice walks down the steps of the US Capitol to the podium… to assigned seats…walking down Pennsylvania Avenue…waves to imaginary crowds…one big, huge dress rehearsal for the nation’s 58th Presidential Inaugural swearing-in and the Inaugural Parade.  This past Sunday was a dry-run… a stunning effort to address this immensely…monumental logistical, security, protocol, media coverage, crowd control quadrennial inaugural event.  As a golden who does not like to miss anything…here’s the schedule of events…Hail to the Chief!

Uncomplicated thoughts: America

So very proud.

Haiku: Stunning red

Forage, Peck, Whistle

Conspicuous on the landscape

His red steals the show

Brilliantly red male cardinal
