May afternoon
some time outside
without my warm coat
May morning
light where I write
different now

We also saw a Spruce tree at Walmart yesterday. These are a few of our posts about trees.
Bloganuary prompt for January 30, 2022 was Describe yourself as a tree.

looking at trees – March 13, 2022
We went to Walmart in Sheboygan today. I admired the juniper growing well in the parklng lot. Karl reminded me of the name.
Saturday
reading books
from my library
enough to last years
and room for more
Rain today. Good to listen and read.
I am reading from The Unexpected Weight: The Haiku Society of America Mentorship Program Anthology 2021. Jay Friedenberg, Editor. Ignatius Fay, Interior Design and Layout.
At POEMS FROM PSALMS AND NATURE, I am working on a new series, that builds upon our series from March 2020 – July 2020. In 2020, the posts were short selections from all 150 Psalms, with pictures. This year I am working with words and themes. One post leads to another. Two recent posts are: my hope and trust (from Psalm 71) and “my hope is in thee” (from Psalm 39). The Psalms may be familiar to some readers and new for others. I let the verses speak for themselves. Universal themes.
May begins, and the snowdrops beauty of April will grow and change. April could be called “snowdrops” here. So I begin this post with one of Karl’s photos from April.
