Hello, beautiful readers! This week, Colleen Chesebro's 72 Micro-Seasons of Japan focuses on the season of Tsuchi no shō uruoi okoru - Rain moistens the soil. I decided to write a haiku for this season.

light rain drizzles down
dry soil soaks up nourishment
tiny sprouts emerge
Would you like to write a poem for this Japanese season? Join us here.
Nice, Yvi. We hit 31 today. That's the warmest we've been for a while. I'm dreaming of spring. I bet it's hot by you!
ReplyDeleteToday was actually cold. It dipped into the 60s. (I know you have no sympathy for my lack of tolerance for cold...lol!) It's going to be in the 70s all week. It was in the 80s last week, and I was hoping to make it to the beach this weekend. Not sure it's going to happen now. :'( Thanks for stopping by, Colleen! :-)
DeleteGood one!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Reena! I appreciate your visit. :-)
DeleteLovely haiku. Our summer is over in a week . Always sad when it ends.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rall! I agree it is sad when summer goes away. It's my favorite season. :-)
DeleteAh, yes! The hope that comes with spring. It's almost here!
ReplyDeleteI'm already enjoying the warmer temps. Thanks for visiting, Jan! :-)
DeleteBeautiful and eagerly awaiting those spring sprouts! Xo
ReplyDeleteI know you are, Denise! Thanks for stopping by. :-)
DeleteSnow melt is good - a nice long gentle warm rain better!
ReplyDeleteSo looking forward to things sprouting.
My old raised garden bit the dust, so to speak. We ordered a new 4'x4' - hopefully it will arrive soon and 'Handy Hubby' can put it together for me :)
I kill everything I try to plant, so I gave up. I wish you good luck with your new garden. Thanks for stopping by, Jules! :-)
