kitty barbeque?

BEWARE leaving the cat alone to her own devices in the RV while I’m out trotting around the pasture.

How has your cat (dog, child, husband, wife) surprised you? Share by penning a haiku!

not what you think, this;

fragile eggs offering spores

tiny fungus cups

I found these beauties in my garden! I’ve only ever found them one other time in the Yakima Valley. So excited!

What’s your Haiku for the day?

Happy Hump Day Haiku ~ Haiku Challenge

farewell gate

 

hugs and kisses, love

not bound by earth, I miss you

always in my heart

 

By Angie Quantrell

Photo taken at Terrace Heights Memorial Park in Yakima, Washington. I’ve gone through these gates so many times, and all it took was one glance in the right light to see the XOXO designs in the center of the gates. What a fitting tribute to the loved ones who have gone before us.

Happy Hump Day Haiku!
