Haikus 9 and 10

This weekend has held about three weekends full of stuff. 
Communing with dear friends.
Running.
Dancing.
Swimming.
And my husband’s on a bobcat, right now, ripping up the front yard.

Sometimes it’s hard to know what to pay attention to…
which little moments matter most…

4/9/11

who notices this?
a child with a chicken,
baby in his arms





4/10/11

each skirt blinks open
each boot twinkles in the dark
this sky full of stars

    Man, those chicken portraits can be framed. Quirky, colorful, funny pictures. And the dance shots are gorgeous!!

    I’m dying to know what’s to become of the front yard…

    Right now I am living vicariously through your green lawns and blue sky happiness…

    I love everything about this post — the people, the poetry, the poultry and the prancing. Thank you Liz!

    Great way to capture the weekend! I took a Sabbath rest and didn’t post one on Sunday. Too much pressure I guess! I like how you combined these.
