adularescence
a pearly moonstone
brightens the night
sleep is more peaceful
with your eye on me

A full moon, looking gauzy behind slight cloud cover, lights up a dark sky, seen through some bare maple trees.

A line drawing accompanied by a haiku about a bundle of herbs used in French cooking. My great grandmother died before I was born. I recently inherited a booklet containing some of her recipes. I’m getting to know a bit more about her life in the early 1900s through her recipes. Her family immigrated to Michigan from France.

evening tea
the truth of Aesop’s fables
swirling in my mind

Last evening’s tea bag tag brought to mind the small yet significant ways in which the Bluesky community lift one another.
Thank you all so much 🙏🏼✨🤎

A line drawing that could be viewed as a thumb of a hand wiping a face. A haiku- monoku accompanies this image to make a haiga.

Did I love it enough,
the full throttle foliage…
While it lasted?
Was I dazed?

I can’t get a good shot… I’ll try from outside but my window is high up. Might not be able to. The pattern is fading.

Yesterday, I said farewell to my loyal companion, Orson. He had a brain tumor and his seizures increased to limit his quality of life. He was one of a kind (as all pets are!). Here is my sweet curmudgeon in his #Halloween bandana. #31DaysofHalloween #dogs #dogsofbluesky
