May haiku and photo

small flowers
near the kitchen windows
first hummingbird

kitchen window
forsythia in bloom
and a daffodil in light

What gives you direction in life?

But it is good for me to draw near to God:
I have put my trust in the Lord GOD,
that I may declare all thy works.

Psalm 73: 28

cup of coffee
by the water
this day to God

I remembered this haiku today. Karl and I live by Lake Michigan in Wisconsin.

Karl’s photos add so much beauty to our blogs. He took these Garden Journal photos of snowdrops yesterday.

TREES

reading poems
by Ted Kooser
and I look again
at the trees
and some years
were hard and also
the new growth
in today’s sun
and they are beautiful
