ReplyDeleteOf course Zoe - who else??!! Hope your week is looking bright. YAM xx
Oh, no! I hope you are much better. My son, getting married in a week, has a bad cold! sigh.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful haiku. I had to laugh at the Z for Zoe! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI love the shot of the trawlers, have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeletethose baby cardinals are so adorable. i've been watching a baby robin around our house. it's not quite learned what it's supposed to do yet. it seems a little lost. at least mama bird is close by and helps to feed it. your haiku is very good. and the household hints are great. hope all is well. have a great day~

I used to watch 'Northern Exposer' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Exposure
ReplyDeleteWhile I didn't watch every episode I did enjoy learning about some of the traditions celebrated in that town and the beliefs of the natives who lived there.
There is a wonderful mystery to different beliefs and how the are connected. Thanks for stopping by. And for your lovely photos.
I liked all of your 'segments' - the quote from Ovid and healing for all. Hugs, Jules
Jules ~ I used to love that show ~ and hearing about their traditions also ~ Thanks for coming by and commenting ~ xoxo

A lovely weekend with your family and loved ones in your beautiful beautiful surroundings. As always great pictures (I would never have thought orchids could be so beautiful in B&W)...it's funny you almost forgot about Art Muse Dog for "Z" -- she would have been cross with you!
ReplyDeleteYour posts are always full of joy (well almost always, except when you tell us you are sick!). Thank you for sharing it with us!
"It is all a myth." I certainly feel that way at times!
