Strictly speaking, it's not a haiku, but I'm sharing it anyway.

Red Umbrella
And when the rain came,
She opened her red umbrella
And thanked the bountiful Universe
For her many blessings.

Happy New Year to you! May you take some time to count your own bountiful blessings.

Deer tracks ~ February 15th

Deer tracks in the snow,
Right there outside my window.
A happy hello!



I spotted these tracks outside my kitchen window and took my camera with me when I went to investigate. I'm not positive that they are deer tracks although I have seen deer in my neighborhood. They're not coyote, not dog or cat. If you have an opinion, I'd love to hear it so please leave a comment. Thanks!

Into the Gray Day

Into the gray day
One bright thought moves rapidly
Gaining momentum.
