a squad of squirrels,
scampering through the rain,
collecting black walnuts.
the reflected silhouettes of leafless trees fade into the murky mirror, the now sunless river, whispering:
day is done.
carefully harvesting low hanging fruit from the 40 foot pear tree at Hearth Hill.
laundry day: when black walnuts like baseballs hang by a thread, 30 feet above the laundry line, precaution is advised.
a ghost in the grass: last night’s frost become drifting mist in morning sun. #HearthHill #autumn #haiku
