I sneaked a little visit to mama’s nasturtiums…the first blooms of spring and you can put them in salads because our garden is organic.

Well, today I urged mama to put in this link to a few very beautiful haikus, which mama and I find soothing and sweet on this Saturday of not very good news…

Take a look at the haikus and feel a bit of calm in this distressing world. Or try to write your own. We have done this before, but a little brush-up never hurts. Here is our 17-syllable, 3-line offering:

Rain in place of flowers

how it wraps the blooms

in its soothing blanket

Have a lovely  Saturday and take a break from the bleak news.

Put a spoon of sugar in any vase of flowers to make the buds open and the blooms last.
