After I changed to this new look, I stopped getting 90% of the traffic I normally get once I post something new… I’ve been playing with it, and hopefully it’s fixed now.
If you saw this in your reader, can you let me know?
Thanks!
Update: Appears to be A-OK now – thanks all :)
It’s been extremely warm (for February) the last couple of days, and suddenly we’ve gone from a foot of snow to green(ish) grass again!
I feel euphoric, even though I know it’s too good to last, and we’re headed back to freezing temperatures again for the weekend. In the mean time, today was so nice that I had the screen door open for hours!
And of course, with the thaw comes this…
The creek at the bottom of the property overflows in the spring and floods the lowest areas. This is the earliest I remember it happening since we’ve lived here though! It’s kind of neat to see muskrats, mink, and other creatures playing in it. The trick is to keep Sadie out of it. Easier said than done in recent times, but she’s getting on in years, so she’s been good about staying up near the back door and simply surveying her domain from there.
Today made me happy.
Sensational Haiku Wednesday
The basics:
Haiku is simple! It is 3 non-rhyming lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively (a great way to use your fingers!)
What you want and need
At odds with reality
Rock and a hard placeBelieve in yourself
Find the courage to stand up
Work for what is rightSpecial, sweet heart space
Find a true home… surprising?
Know that you belong
Folks, a quick note about comments: I do visit everyone, but a few of you don’t have Name/URL enabled on your blogs, and I CAN’T comment in that case (and prefer not to have to email). Take a moment to enable that, will you? There are other ways to combat spam and still allow people with their own domains to leave their homage to your greatness ;)
Note: Nothing makes me happier than to see new people getting “hooked on haiku”! Keep it going to make it to the Hooked on Haiku List
To participate in this week’s event, please use the following code in your post on your own blog (if you don’t have a blog, post your Haiku as a comment):
