Fun Monday Dirty Haiku

I do not like chores
no sweeping, mopping, waxing…
not even poetic


***

Lil Mouse asks, “What is your least favorite chore?”  Obviously, I got distracted just thinking about it and wrote poetry instead of getting down and getting dirty.

But, you can rant about the one you hate to do and scamper on over to leave your link with Jill.  Then come back and do my dishes.

In fact you are right to write a Haiku, chores are not worthwhile to describe in long and large, lol ! anyway in we all know that dust has to wait !

Doing dishes is my favorite inside chore. Sticking my hands in the warm water is so soothing. Dusting is my least favorite inside chore. Now, for outdoor chores, I rather like cleaning the stalls and shoveling off the area in front of the barn. I do some of my best thinking while I'm shoveling sh*t, and I feel like I'm clearing the crap mentally while I'm doing it physically. No lie.

Very creative, and Gattina is right, we don't need many words to describe the chores we don't love doing! LOL

Isn't Haiku fun?!

I'll do the dishes. It's always more fun doing someone else's dishes than your own.

Least fav chore? My son's bathroom, which he is supposed to clean himself but never seems to do it to my satisfaction! Cute haiku by the way :)

I don't like cleaning very much either, but once I get started it isn't too bad.

I'll wash your dishes.

It's winter.

The hot water feels good.


.... was that the right number of words? Or is it supposed to be a certain number of syllables? I forget.

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of the make and model that

Apparitions in my Garden

Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio

Bird Voyeur

The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben
