Friday Haiku - In pictures

Published by Ree at 6:52 pm under Haiku Friday

My favorite chair
for reading in the evening -
the quiet front porch.

The dilemma solved.
How to pretty the wellhead?
Wildflowers and art.

 

 

Waiting for bluebirds,
covered in Morning Glorys.
Their nests are still here.

 

 

The yard needs water
where Shortman pitches baseballs
and tomatoes grow.

 

 

Grass still needed cut.
Signalgrass growing too tall.
See the mower lines?

 

 

The chore is complete -
and a lesson is well learned.
Tan lines are a bitch.

 

 

—- There is something so wrong with this picture. I swear it wasn’t doctored in any way, shape, or form. Doesn’t it look like his dead feet were re-attached to his ankles? (y’all do realize those are not MY feet, right?) —-

    That last picture is ever-so-slightly disturbing.

    Great set otherwise. :)

    Beautiful flowers! My yard, too, is fried. I’ve not mowed it in a month because of lack of rain. (Not that this is breaking my heart - I hate mowing my yard.)

    There’s gotta be a “best of the worst tan lines” web site where you could submit that picture.

    The yard looks awesome… the feet, not so much. There goes that foot modeling carreer that the Hot Family was going to get rich on.

    Great post! It looks like he has a tan and some dirt on those legs, does that mean he mows in shorts? You know that is a big no-no!

    No way! How the hell did he end up with those tan lines? Seriously.

  8. Sunshineon 15 Aug 2008 at 8:23 pm

    I want to sit out and read with you.
    I love that you have all those flowers, you seem to me to “need” flowers around you like I need them, they make me smile.

    YeGads! Does someone need to be introduced to sunscreen? That’s just not right.

  12. Shaniaon 15 Aug 2008 at 9:25 pm

    Gorgeous yard and flowers. The tan lines from hell are a small price to pay for such beauty. So says me, who doesn’t have to sport them!

  16. TheMamaon 15 Aug 2008 at 11:56 pm

    OMG, the TAN LINES!

    That is the freakiest thing I’ve seen in a long time. And that’s counting the time Hubby played 18 holes in Tevas because his shoes had spikes. He did not, of course, use sunscreen…

    These tan lines beat that by a mile!

    Bossy is sorry
    ‘Cause those feet provoke nightmares
    Off to drink some gin.

    (Bossy loves your porch
    you’re right - perfect for reading
    and yes: drinking gin.)

    Oh, gawd. Hot, hot, hot summer. All that dry, baking Bermuda grass. Tell Mr. Hot he can consider his dead looking feet badges of honor. Oh! And buy that man a pair of flip flops.
    Love your flowers and would kill for a place to grow tomatoes. We have practically all shade.

    I am so glad you clarified those were not your legs or feet… I had to do a double take.

    The double take made my daughter laugh.

    See how the world goes around?

    Thanks for sharing the great porch, something I can’t wait to have at the new house.
