Watching birds fly south
Just spots on the horizon
Winter coming soon

When I grow up I want to be…
And the Lion goes “ROAR!”

What is
The meaning of
The “End of the Beginning”?
Is it really the “Beginning
Of the End” ?
Cinquain
“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”
–Sir Winston Churchill in 1942 after the 2nd battle of El Alamein:
Against the Odds
One can prevail
Two will be able to withstand
Three fold cord holds firm
Haiku
And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Eccl. 4:12
Biding
Sitting and waiting
Time goes so very slow
Waiting and sitting

My Garden Spot
Love my little garden spot
In my little corner of the world
It’s not much, but all I’ve got
Love my little garden spot
Though to some it doesn’t look like a lot
Its here my life is quite unfurled
Love my little garden spot
In my little corner of the world

To My Followers and Friends
Don’t often have time to say
That I am thankful everyday
For you who visit and say
Kind words, compliments pay
Thanks for things you say
Stars of “Yay”
I will say
Alway
“Yea”

Western Sunset
Evening shadows
Sun goes on a beach retreat
Daytime turns dark
Haiku
Under the Trees
Peace is upon this place
It’s sent from heaven above
Feather of a dove
Haiku
With Time and Care
Wounds are healing
Restoration is at work
New life is coming
Haiku
This little Bay Leaf Plant was growing great in a small area of the lawn but one day he was accidentally mowed down and was deemed too injured to keep. He was headed for the compost bin but I intervened to save him. I wanted to give him a new chance at life and so with good soil, water and sunshine I see he is now coming back. New sprouts are emerging! Soon he will be a big glorious Bay Leaf Tree! 😊
Life at times is rough
Somedays might be really tough
Never giving up
Holding on til my last breath
I choose life over death
