This last Wednesday of June is my last HuMp DaY Haiku. My sincere gratitude to those who have played along, especially my online friend Gloria. I will keep writing haiku, which you'll see here frequently, and hope you do too!
Thank you for playing!
Hump Day Haiku is at its end.
Keep writing haiku!
On another note... I came across a fabulous estate sale for this book lover. A well loved home with shelves and shelves of old books. I am especially fond of old children's books and early 19th century novels.
I've been adding some of the children's books to my Vintage Shop. If you're a collector, check out these fun treasures from the 1960s:
Resurrecting a haiku from last year, as my brain is too tired this week.
My good news is that I was chosen to be
part of the Allied Arts Holiday Arts Festival again this year. Yay!
I have been creating art all along, but now it begins in earnest. I’m also considering a few other
holiday weekend events, if I can get enough inventory.... O.o
In other news, I've been busy mailing out packages from both my Art and Vintage Etsy shops the past two weeks. Added to putting in extra hours at the store with the owners out of town, I'm one pooped girl!
Hope your week is going well!
I have found that creating a haiku (non rhyming poem with 5 - 7 - 5 syllables per line) feeds my soul. I especially like creating them to go with my photos and art.

I love this time of year in the garden. Foxglove and native Columbine are prolific and we sometimes even get nice weather too. It's relaxing watching the bees busy gathering pollen. They probably wonder what that human is doing following them about the garden. :)

Lucky to hang with my great niece (7 1/2) and nephew (1 1/2) Monday night while Mom and Dad were at a work dinner. We had a pizza dinner, a walk around the block and were rewarded with delightful smiles and the art Mina drew based on a picture in Carla Sonheims "Drawing Lab for Mixed Media Artists". We both love that book. I left my wacky flowers with her.
Mina's art was created by a pencil drawing outlined in black marker, and colored in with oil pastels and colored pencil. Aren't I lucky to own it?

Low tide at the full May moon had me out wandering the tide flats looking for treasures. Eel grass is thick at Marine Park's low intertidal zone and the few rocks are closer to the shore line. I saw a variety of birds and these tiny starfish. Compare them to the snails which are as big as a thumb. These are all small guys; the little green one the smallest I've discovered in my various treasure hunts.

"Screaming in my head... I cannot let the sound escape. It would scare the natives."
I wrote this a few months ago in my journal. When things were so crazy it kept tumbling around in my mind. Isn't it interesting that if you don't take care of things, they keep coming back? After all the "stuff" with my son the past several months, added to a few stressful relationships with selfish people, I'm feeling close to that again. Even with the pouring rain, we're heading out for a overnight dose of nature in an attempt to settle my mind and work on priorities.
taking time for me
resting in among
the trees
healing in nature P.S. I forgot to include the linky before I left to go away to nature. It's here now. :)

"I
have always felt that my journal was not the place for negativity. Some
may disagree but for me, I want to focus on what is good in my life, not what
isn’t. I truly believe that giving energy to the good makes it even
better, just as giving energy to the unpleasant parts of our lives only
amplifies it. Besides, at this point in my life I can look back and see
that those unpleasant times were all part of growing and really the “good
stuff” when all is said and done."
For years I have believed in focusing on the good in my life, and the all things that I want in and from my life. Many years ago a wise mentor said "Where you will be
in five years depends on what you read (books, articles), the people you
associate with, and what you listen to (ie. inspirational CDs/podcasts/etc)."
I firmly believe that as truth. And so I was delighted to read about Teesha's recent intention and it's result for her.
I'd love to hear about your results from focusing on an Intention.

Another week of HuMp DaY Haiku... just because it's sunny.
Please meet my new friend
Chula, made by Gloria!
I won her May prize!
Isn't she fabulous? I love the bright colors, and we've decided she'll be on the kitchen wall near the pantry.
I was surprised and delighted to win the May prize on Gloria's Blog Viva La Vida. Chula arrived with a few other goodies, and a nice note from Gloria.
Gloria and I have become blog friends this past year. We both participate in Paint Party Friday each week, (well, most weeks for me) and Gloria has also been a regular participant in Hump Day Haiku. I hope you check out her blog, she's always busy at creating paintings and cooking wonderful meals.
And... I've decided to continue Hump Day Haiku for a bit to see how it goes. Play along if you wish!

And debating whether I'll continue Hump Day Haiku. While this may be the last Hump Day Haiku post, it certainly won't be my last haiku. We'll see how it feels next week. :)

I adore Mr. Rogers, and had to share this quote regarding the recent "scary news". My prayers go out to those affected by the bombings in Boston.
I'm focusing on the helpers, the caring people of this world.

I love this abstract looking shot of plants, from the outside of the glass green house. They are getting all ready for warm weather and summer gardens. The warm is coming... I'm certain of it.

Resist societal pressure to conform. Be true to yourself even if it means being the only red flower among a field of orange. You can do it! Stand out in the crowd!

I couldn't resist getting a shot of the rubber duckies in the birdbath this morning, frozen in place. Brrrrrr! The funny part is the real birds don't seem to mind their bright yellow plastic counterparts sitting in their bird bath. My husband put them out there one day while I was at work, and it did get a laugh from me when I got home. It makes me smile every time I look out in the yard.
But look, duckies! There is hope! Grape hyacinths are a sign of spring. I'm sure it will warm up soon!

This photo captures most of this verdant little garden, one of the container/miniature gardens a the Northwest Flower and Garden Show this year. I love the whole look, the moss, the violets, the ferns and especially the shoes! I'll have to look at the thrift stores for cool old shoes to art up and add to the garden.

We had a wonderful time at Jason's art walk this past Friday. He was so good at showing us the art he'd worked so hard to create these pieces. We are very proud of him!
In all the pictures I took, I didn't get a good one of Jason with his art. O.o This one was taken back at his apartment, and will have to do. *sigh*
P.S...... I just realized that my scheduler did not work, this was supposed to post late on March 5, rather than March 4th. Ack! Working without sufficient time off apparently is not good for this brain. LOL!

On a sunny day lunch-time visit with husband while working "at the farm", I finally got to meet Theo, the llama. Theo has no company during the day, he's a lonely little llama. He loves to have his back scratched
and will give you a snuffle (or chew on your hair) in appreciation.
He even poses looking regal, if you smile nicely at him.

Hoping to have a bit of time to take a walk in the woods... although it won't be as lush this picture quite yet. Not sure when that can happen. So many other demands on my time. I'm working on releasing a few of them.
If it's not giving you good energy, it's time to let it go.
