Frost ~~ Sensational Haiku Wednesday

Golf course pictures were taken from our back porch

Monday morning with frost on the golf course. Temps got down to 26, the lowest of the year (2007, this year also) so far.

My Haiku/

frost on the golf course
means a frost delay for sure
we'll tee off at ten

Saturday morning after a nighttime storm with a couple of inches of rain.

morning after rain
good earth extra bright and green
golf starts at seven

Sunday morning, not a cloud in the sky!

Sunday morning bright
honor sabbath--keep it holy
afternoon golf

Accident(s) ~~ Sensational Haiku Wednesday

.
Growing (old) Pains

accidents happen
eh you said a what ahead
OMGosh Mack truck

accidents no-no
smashed fenders and broken bones
take the keys away

two broken kneecaps
accident prone watch your step
elevator's nice
wry smile with his curt retort
hard to teach old dog new tricks

Stress ~~ Sensational Haiku Wednesday



Little Pony

old Mustang is dear
going on thirteen candles
one-fifty no more

her spirit still high
faster than that she would go
one-fifty's too fast

we stop at one-ten
metal fatigue--kill us both
stress her no I'll not

To read and see Jim and his Mustang's guided picture tour of Cut and Shoot, Texas, click here. The 1998 Mustang GT convertible has 88,000 miles of which 39,000 Jim put on since he got it used in 2001. It was Jim's retirement present from himself.
Yes, it still will go over 150 mph but he doesn't take it over 120 now because of the silent killer, metal fatigue is likely to be present. (We used to magniflux our stock car racing cars after race for metal fatigue.)

Belong(-ing) ~~ Sensational Haiku Wednesday


Château Vaudreuil, near Montreal, Canada

Belonging

belonging pay dues
so what does it get me—line
on piece of paper




Château Vaudreuil, near Montreal, Qc, Canada, is not a club where membership can be obtained. Rather it is a wonderful resort where Mrs. Jim and I stayed for three nights last week. They do many weddings and do sell hospitality packages. Château-Vaudreuil. com

I'm still on holiday and will be back to the States but not for a while.

Please leave some comments now and then while I'm gone. My computer will come with me and I'd like to hear from you. Your comments are like letters from home.
I might even leave more little photos or poems or notes here now and then like this one.

And I'll read your blogs some.

But probably I won't resume returning your comments after until I return.

Challenge ~~ Sensational Haiku Wednesday




he threw the gauntlet
to take up his challenge
could I eat a gallon

or could keep it lite
eighty calories per serving
slowly starve to death
