For Tanka Tuesday this week, I wrote a series of haiku using the kigo words from the challenge post HERE:
tranquil dawn
the mourning dove's call
unanswered
after the rainbow
birds enter clouds
a friend's funeral
hazy moon
moisture between
the windows

Speaking of windows… Tuesday, we get our windows replaced. Yes, the seals are broken and we have moisture between the panes. Soon, we will have replaced everything in this house. This house is twenty years old, but I don’t believe the builder used top-notch materials back then. It’s going to be a busy week, but I will have the challenge up on Tanka Tuesday. It will take me the rest of the week to put the house back together again.
I also received a lovely message from Robbie Cheadle on Facebook yesterday. She painted a leopard, my favorite cat! She called this painting: “Into the Light—Leopard.” I love how the ☀️ light ☀️ reflects in this painting! Robbie is a gifted artist, poet, and author.
The rest of the week found me fully immersed in the writing of my paranormal cozy mystery. The community is taking form and so are my characters. This is the first draft, and I have a way to go until the finished product. Yay! I’m almost one quarter of the way through. 🥳 🪻
I’ve had fun playing with images from the Bing Copilot. In this image, I imagined the Lavender Dreams Tea Shop interior. It’s a lot of fun to bring your imagination to life.
If you celebrate Easter, may this time bring you peace. 🕊️
