Winter

Winter garden,
the moon thinned to a thread,
insects singing

The winter storm
hid in the bamboo grove
and quieted away

A peaceful post as a balm to my busy week - a peek at the winter obi on our hall table and three of Basho's winter haiku.

Enjoy

Now then, let's go out
to enjoy the snow... until
I slip and fall!

I'd love you to leave me a message. Tell me what you like - and what you don't. Just remember that this is what we do in our family - it doesn't have to be what you do in yours...
