I’m cerebrating #haikuSaturday with an ode to the last watermelon of the season from my parents’ garden (and, of course, we’re saving the seeds, as instructed):

season winding down
summer’s sweetness stored in red
saving seeds for spring

I had a wonderful time presenting at Furman’s OLLI program and sharing the story behind #SmackDabintheMiddleofMaybe. It was a joy to connect with such an inspiring group of lifelong learners

Thank you, Furman OLLI, for celebrating the power of storytelling!

In celebration of #HaikuSaturday (and only breaking a few haiku rules):

leaf-winged katydid
astride petals . . . a platform
and . . . maybe a meal
