Haiku my Heart - - Down and Up

 very quietly
eagle rode the wind downward
prey was unaware

Sunset Flight acrylic 7x14 Available just ask


Its too hot to go out. Too  hot to even think. So I paint. Its cool where I paint. Hoping this Florida excessive heat wave goes away soon. So dry with no rain. I put water out for the birds. Keep it clean and cool. They come and bathe, drink. Fills my soul with happy things when I see it.

These two paintings are going into the gallery today. This is Harriet, the missing bald eagle from Ft. Myers. Strong, Loved, Missed. If you would like to know her story, check out SWF Eagle Cam.  I will miss  you Harriet. And...if no one wants to give  you a home, I will come get  you and bring  you back. Maybe I will do that anyway. 😢

Until next time....Be well. Be happy.

Haiku My Heart - A New Day

 from her porch rocker
a woman watched the sunrise
a passerby waved


ink & marker


So....last Friday no haiku as usual. I confess I was just lazy. But today I will amuse you with a really silly story that happened..for real. Its when you have a bad day. Sometimes you have a REALLY bad day. Mine started with waking up grouchy because of a bad dream. Hate when that happens. Then better half announced the coffee pot was broken. It just sat there cold and uncaring, no light, no heat, no coffee!! Well, ok, I only drink one cup in the  morning...just one...and you would think the coffee pot would be considerate enough to brew at least one before it lay down dead. But no!  So....I boiled water and poured it through the filter. Carefully. Dont want to overflow and  have a mess to clean up. Viola! Coffee! A happier camper now, I carried my one cup to my morning spot (kind of like Sheldon...I have a "spot" that's all mine) and set that precious cup of brew down....on the edge of a book I didnt see...and whamo...coffee everywhere!  On the little table. On the floor. On the book! Remember this is early morning and my eyes are barely open and my brain is still foggy!  What evil, evil entity is hovering over me? What universal muse hates me? I told my sister I should just dig a hole and jump in, but the shovel would probably break! She just told me to go back to bad and start over. No sympathy there.  

Ok. I did manage to get another cup squeezed out of that hand made brew, and dear better half cleaned  up most of the mess for me,  so the day is looking just a little better. I hope yours is wonderful,and that  you have lots and lots of coffee, or tea, or whatever your morning brew may be, with zero spills. 😉
