Celebrating #haikuSaturday:

first forsythia
flowers flutter, flicker, bow
birdsongs raise in praise

#poetry #haiku

Hyacinth for you as we head into the weekend #JoyScavengerHunt

A camellia bloom cradled in its leaves #JoyScavengerHunt

Thanks. I didn’t see it on X. These algorithms are vexing

Thanks so much Linda Jean!

A Chickasaw plum tree blooming. What will you spot on your wonder-filled Wednesday? #JoyScavengerHunt

Celebrating #haikuSaturday with a poem about the anticipation of spring planting that the combination of daffodils blooming and our growing stack of seed catalogs (and seed order arrivals) inspires:

daffodil dreaming
seed catalog scheming soon
soft sweet soil to plant

#poetry #haiku

Good morning from Fort Mill, SC! #JoyScavengerHunt

And then, the crocuses arrived #JoyScavengerHunt

Another re-blooming orchid this morning. What will you spot on your wonder – filled Wednesday? #JoyScavengerHunt
