MAY 2020
Haikus every day:
May 1
Small celebrations
April still slips into May
Raise the roof and smile
May 2
Chickens sweat it out
Blue sky warm sun quiet day
Jesus, fill my soul
May 3
Mom’s mother’s day gift
Essential oils necklace
But chain broke too soon
Aly’s birthday: eight
FaceTime stories – bike crash, park
Hunt, friend’s pinata
May 4
Good day to putter
Get space ready for Marc’s work
Have to make a plan
May 5
Two male rose-breasted
Grosbeaks eat together, and then
Scorch the air and fight!
May 6
Marc/Myr, clean gutters
We work outside together
Sweet home family
May 7
Ate too much today
Sun, birds, work with M & M
This week’s Saturday
May 8
Friend healed from virus
Antibodies growing strong
Can I get a hug?
May 9
Ice cream with grandkids
Even if we can’t give hugs
Smiles for Mother’s Day
May 10
Brrr cold, wind, ugly
This? Fifth Sunday of Easter?
Just take a long nap
May 11
Brent. Truck. Home Depot.
Hooray. Got our lattice home
Gazebo’s new roof
May 12
Our hedge now trimmed smooth
Marc knows how to cut green hair
Learning on the job
May 13
Stacey! Help! Blog looks wrong
Where did my italics go?
We get chance to talk
May 14
This one is from Dan Frachey:
Known by many names
Author, counselor … I like
Jolly grandpa man
And I responded:
Ha! Jolly haiku
Brings a smile to grandpa’s face
Dan’s chiara song
May 15
Nice outside all day
I move sand, reset red bricks
Smooth out place to sit
May 16
Puttering is one thing
Move listless is another
Today I’m have dead
May 17
Rain all day, Lincoln
Trip, see Mom, sit up straight, breathe
Be patient with my self
May 18
Too much food? Shut up!
Too much mess? Count your blessings!
Don’t be stupid!
May 19
Morning, folded hands,
Close my eyes: “Come Lord Jesus,
Hold me, be my guest.”
May 20
Alone, I sit, think
With Marc/Myr so much gets done
Just do it right now!
May 21
Read write listen pray
Rhythm for every day
Sacred, divine song
May 22
Marc and I built gate,
Cover for hen’s nesting box,
And a little shelf
May 23
My first smoked pork butt
Low heat, smoke, two twenty five
Gas grill, hot day, sun! (and 12 hours!)
Seventh Sunday of Easter, May 24, 2020
Writing these in church
Always during the sermon
I love that rhythm
First smoked ribs gas grill
Five hours this time, better
Even than the butt!
May 25
Writing at home, not
Church? But spirit and truth
Travel light and free
May 26
Webcams came today
We can show ourselves and smile
All the world to see
May 27
co-vid 19 test
Margaret does not have it
Hope she stays that way
May 28
We have done so much
There is still so much to do
Time, we fly away
May 29
Paint, mow, trim, rest, romp
Tuna fresh from Asian seas
Another picnic (with Marc & Myranda)
May 30
With Marc, fence is done!
Our loggia, garden home
Chickens, only look!
May 31 (Sunday of Pentecost)
Lord in your mercy
Let the Spirit wind blow free
Please hear our prayer
