God of all life and death,
we pray to you from the valleys of dry bones -
 - Gaza
 - Ukraine
 - Iran
 - and other places that go in and out of our news consciousness where people (and indeed all Creation) is suffering, including our own United States.
Breathe your word of life to us all,
that your Creation might rise up and live and thrive like a daffodils in springtime.
We pray today in the name of Jesus who said "Consider the lilies...."

 White islands float on
Lake Superior blue water -
        in UP blue sky.

             Or 

 

A fuzzy crescent

hanging in the maple tree -

       ornament of spring.

 

Still not a "3,2,1" haiku. (March 21)

 

Two thirds of March is

over now, springs first full day -

        time to start something! 

 

Equal day and night (1) -

more “outdoors” now, less tv -

    in the days ahead.

Skiing, walking, maybe even a early afternoon picnic?

(1) March 20 - vernal equinox, then full moon, then Sunday=Easter!

Revenge - forgiveness,

Hey, Count of Monte Cristo -

           Which one will you choose?

Read this book before,
heard this song, saw this program -
       left-over buffet!

Actually we had 2 "left-over" casseroles and some BBQ beans for supper -

Potatoes, onions,

sriracca spiced smoked salmon (1) -

         St Patrick's Day meal?

 

(1) baked in a white sauce with cheese. Not traditional maybe, but it was delicious!

Front yard rolling hills,
Sidewalk mountain range drifts, so -
      blizzard is still here!

We've got a six foot drift across our front sidewalk. I'd take a picture but I'm not sure I can get the door open!  Ok - picture from outside-

Alternate last line-
          No grasshoppers here.

Happy St Urho's Day!
