Carpe Diem #1057 creek

Growing up on a farm has its own kind of special memories:  star filled skies, mud pies, rotten eggs being dropped from the barn loft and ...

evening sounds
cows saunter single file

      It really does have its own special memories.

    Very nice imagery there. Simple but effective. 'Sigh' - I agree with Celestine, and notice the parcity of fellow cdhkians at your blog. Such a shame a few are like this.

      Thanks, Hamish. I am not seeing Celestine's comment. I have not been good about visiting blogs recently so I am guilty, also.

      And I can still see that worn path as I would walk it when I played along the creek.

    Brings back memories of my childhood; so many farms in the area, watching the cows return home. :)

      It is so much fun being slightly dyslexic. I read your comment as the crows coming home..... Homing crows. No wait reread. Now that makes sense! One could almost set the clock by the cows coming home to the barn.

    Lovely haiku. Made me think of a time we climbed a hollow tree and the cows came to drink at the creek and we were trapped in the tree.

      Oh, yes, the bovine can be challenging at times! I was about 5 when one trapped me in the barn. She was a bossy one, too.

neighborhood of colors

Carpe Diem #1263 neighborhood of colors After living for many decades in locations a little too monochrome in their occupants, I am pleased to be living in an apartment complex populated by a wide spectrum of colors and tones.  What joy to look up while on a walk to see someone who looks nothing like a 70 year old white woman.  To see the young mother in her hijab walking with her children.  To hear the rhythm of a different language floating across the pool.  To see the sun set profiling the gay couple as they embrace.  Yes, I am loving this neighborhood of colors. jewels glisten at sunset ©    petra domina Thanks to Chèvrefeuille for daily prompts on CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI

new ways

Carpe Diem Writing and Enjoying Haiku #6 new ways T his has been the year when Hubby and I along with a whole bunch of other folks celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary . We actually started the celebration back at the end of June, our actual 'date'.  It continued with a trip to France. Returning home we began working on The Party that was delayed till the grandsons returned from a summer in Canada. As we have friends our own ages, they, too, are celebrating 50 years.  That means more trips.  Unexpected strength of hurricane Harvey resulted in Hubby and I choosing to downsize even more.  And how do two people stay together for 50 years of marriage?  Well, forgiveness, understanding and a willingness to step together into the unknown of new ways. fifty years with the same man always something new keeps me guessing what's next? © petra domina Thanks to Chèvrefeuille for daily prompts on CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI   ...
