Haiku Moment: land, hop, walk

land, pause, freeze, and look

what’s a bird to do? can’t move

winter’s sticky tape

hop, hop, hop-three jumps

and you are there, discover

snowy hidden treats

different bird tracks;

walk, waltz, snoop: toes in, toes out

winter hides the food


land, hop, walk

From the Cat: Happy New Year!

Monet wanted me to send out her greetings and wishes for a wonderful and joyful new year!

From her humans (aka slaves), we also hope you have a beautiful 2023!

Haiku Moment: drafty

color splash welcomes

beacon against monotone

Sunday Moment: Advent 3 – The Love

Love came down at Christmas,
love all lovely, Love divine;
Love was born at Christmas;
star and angels gave the sign.

Written by Christina Georgina Rossetti (1885)

Haiku Moment: frozen in thyme

crisp hoar frost descends

embroiders lacy fingers

winter’s herbsicle
