Seen on a Cushion Cover

Peace when thou comest,
And when thou goest may thy
Footsteps echo peace.


What is amazing
Is that it is a haiku.
They are everywhere :D

Breaking Silence (better than breaking wind :D)

I click on this blog,
And silence flows from my screen.
No activity.


Blank screen before me.
Endless possibilities.
Fingers poised o'er keys.


Mind works, fingers tap,
Creativity begins.
From nothing, something.


Many words appear,
Black lines on white screen. Silent.
Until I read them.


In my mind I hear,
The words as if they're spoken.
Silence is broken.


Anyone to hear
another rhyming haiku?
Come, chuckle with me :)

Clean bottles!

Wiggle the arm and
the dishwasher works again.
Milk bottles are clean!


No filter blockage.
No gummed-up holes in the arm.
It wasn't on right!


I took the arm off.
Then clipped it back into place.
Now freely turning.


Hot soapy water
Can spray onto everything.
It works as designed.

Nothing delicate about this...

Afternoon baking
Siren song of Northern cake
We now have Parkin.

No soft Southern stuff
But oatmeal, lard, and no egg.
This growls from the pan.

Dark, moist and chewy,
More Yorkshire than Lancashire.
Need more recipes.  :)


The recipe is on the other blog.  :)
