Juicy Summer


Sweet juice of summer
drip, drip, drip, quenches my life
lifting high my heart

This is one of those years to remember we are actually having a summer,
we have had more than two consecutive weeks of sunshine!
Today begins the folk festival next to our cottage,
we usually go in wellington boots but this year I think it is safe to wear sandals!

Joining in with
Haiku my Heart
Recuerda mi Corazon

BTW
Cupcake baking in progress,
bouncy castle to arrive soon
along with party animals ~
we have a 'jungle' theme going on!

My buzz word for today is b-r-e-e-z-y
I need it first for the heat
secondly for calm ;~)

I remember last year at this time as well. Not summery at all. When I think about how hot and humid it is right now in Wisconsin, I imagine that drip, drip drip of some kind of juice cooling my body to be waves of cool water.
Very glad you are upbeat and enjoying life. Have fun at the festival and eat a cupcake, or two, for me.

Much Peace sent your way Ms. Foxy

You are having a fun time with a lot of breeze sun and light!! Can sense your buoyant mood!! We on the other side of the globe are done with the scorching summer heat and sweating and enjoying the welcome rains!! Funnily we here don't walk in wellies, they even stopped selling them, instead we all wear sandals and bellies specially made for the monsoons!! :) How things vary in different regions!!

Love that opening line: "Sweet juice of summer"!

It almost makes me appreciate this torrid time of year.

Almost.

Haiku my Heart #42 - Shine on

t'was just a sparkle peeping through the blacks and grey it filled my whole eye .... My daughter's car stands motionless on our drive, she is in hospital with severe stress symptoms. It has been a dark week, yesterday I noticed a sparkle reflecting off of her car through my window. She's been rattling up and down the motorway for the last year everyday to the job she loves and is fighting hard to keep. The car had so many rattles, now fixed by my love, it's washed, polished and resting-up waiting for her return. For more haiku poetry Visit Recuerda mi Corazon

Haiku my Heart #49 ~ Numbers

 After yoga yesterday we discussed significant numbers, today being Friday 13th, unlucky for some they say! On the other hand the year 2012 is said to be an auspicious year, The Chinese Year of the Golden Dragon, taking place only once every 60 years .  It also happens to be a leap year so  that means the possibility of climbing my same old staircase an extra time this year! The number 300 is significant too  this being my  300th post!  whilst yesterday the 12th was my blog birthday 2 years! So what do these numbers all amount to? Can I count on them to calculate my life? Or are they just markers of time,  as illusory as my shadows? shadows behind me  light always falls to the front  illuminates now sending to  Postcards from Paradise Recuerda mi Corazon BTW this is my 49th Haiku  I'm sure this is a significant number! ;~) PS I'm really getting into this numbers thing,  apparently 7 is the perfe...
