clouds

With my husband off on an adventure,
I quietly enjoyed my morning coffee while sitting outside
and watching these interesting clouds float by.




Saturday morning
watching odd-shaped wisps of clouds
drift across the sky

spiders

HUMP Day Haiku

No, I didn't fall off the planet!
Joining Helen once again for this week's HDH.

Midway through cutting off hosta bloom stalks,
I realized this spider had been using them to secure his web.
(I was REALLY thankful he hadn’t gotten in my hair or
crawled up my arm or... shudder... something worse.)
I left the remaining stalks uncut, 
feeling sorry I had caused so much damage to the web.
Not to worry.
The next morning, a new one was in place.


itsy, bitsy...not!
this industrious spider
rebuilt in one day



waning summer days
ramp up spider construction
webs blocking passage



inside an ‘Iceberg’
rests this tiny arachnid
no phobias here!
