Dear Sarah,
Lovely pictures and that second haiku is brilliant!!! Brava!
Thank you. That word “brilliant” is always such an encouragement, and most gratefully received. I can see that the artist in your appreciated the concept of a crayoned sky!
Hello, dear friend from afar! Lovely thoughts heading back your way from the sunshine coast 🙂
PS I’m really hoping I’ve surfaced fully this time, rather than remaining semi-submerged. Am mindful of promising many times to write a very important book review. Today my mind has shifted into a different gear, having cleared away a lot of dross and gained a sense of direction. I have a to-do list on my desk in front of me. The book review is No.2 on it, after today’s blogging, which was No.1, so provided I don’t succumb to the dreaded virus overnight or suffer some other catastrophy, tomorrow seems quite likely.
Oh yes! Sarah in da house!
Love these two haiku (haiki?)
While the first is lovely just by the fact that the skies are so quiet, I hae to agree with Rochelle, that second one is brilliant!
Oooo, Dale. A brilliant from you, too 🙂 Today is good, and long may it continue. I’ve managed to smile more times than I’ve frowned this Monday. That is a huge reason to celebrate.
PS I just took a very artistic picture featuring a snail, having told Mister that you would be truly disappointed if I missed such a photo opportunity. Will save it for another post very soon.
Now that is indeed a wonderful thing!
You are right. I would be truly disappointed 😉
I cannot wait to see it. I now think of you immediately when I see snails 😉
Thank you, Andrea 🙂 Sadly, people can have very short memories, which I guess is why we have anniversaries to remember such as past wars and the Holocaust. I wonder if we’ll have an official Corvid-19 anniversary to remember the heroes, as well as the lost ones. I’m fearful that people will go back to their old ways, some of which are detrimental to the planet, as well as to themselves personally. It reminds me of the song “Where Have All the Flowers Gone”.
Thank you 🙂 Even though the pandemic was scary and still hasn’t lost its threat, I did so love the lockdown sky and all the peace that went with it.

Yes indeed the world is a different place today. Lovely use of ‘forget me not’ – let’s hope we don’t!

My garden is covered with them at the moment. They are very prolific plants that would never allow us to forget them!
