Today, after a long dry spell it rained.

Yesterday we painted the South side of the house.

It was hard work but worth it.

 

Here are a few thoughts and smiles.

No funny poems waiting to spill laughter.

Just some Haiku.

 

Question. Is it wrong to accept a compliment?

Personally having done nothing to help,

only wanted to say “thank you.”

Perhaps it would have been better,

more acceptable to just say that.

I was and am sincerely thankful that

there were those who answered the call.

Enough.

 

Warm rain drifted down,

washing the faces of trees.

Thirsty roots drank deep.

 

Grumpy fellow from East.

Spurns gift of thanks from friend!

Feeling better now?

 

A paint sprayer is fast.

Also drinks paint like a pint.

Needs a steady hand.

 

Tomatoes grow red,

hanging in thirsty baskets.

Soon they will sweeten.

 

Deer browse on our plants.

Dog hair makes a good deterrent.

But deer determined!
