Hello, all! I hope you’re doing well this Tuesday. Here in coastal Delaware, our cardinals, finches, sparrows, and woodpeckers relish each rainy spring day. My writing has been sporadic for a couple of weeks, but our online house-hunting has been a success, and we are thrilled to have located a retirement home in a New Jersey shore community, with the closing scheduled for June 8! Our main needs were a great kitchen and back up to woods, as we do in our rented home. We got them both!
I have been tortured by tinnitus an insidious hissing in my ears or head depending on how it is explained. It comes and goes, possibly with the barometer changes. So today, I write with a stretchy headband with blue tooth speakers at each ear and am listening to the persistent — yet to my affliction — a soothing sound of forest rain. How fitting!
You might have seen my recent post, “Early Spring a Gardening Haibun” which featured this haiga, composed with a photo I took of cherry blossoms on the Virginia highway.
More to come on Roots and Branches by the weekend! Wishing you a peaceful second half of April’s first week. Remember what April showers bring…
With love, Mel
Lovely haiku. You look adorable in your suit which brings back memories of Easter in Des Moines....new dresses, shoes, and basket goodies.
Happy spring!
Congratulations on finding your new home!
