Late night haibun…

Posted on April 1, 2019 by Sue Vincent

I’d lost four fish in quick succession, in spite of everything I had tried. Another dozen were struggling.

Dash to the local aquarium store to buy a new air pump.  Hope that will resolve the problem… so far so good.

The rest of the day cuts everything too fine. Not enough time for any of the things I plan to enjoy. Ten thirty at night, I’m asleep at the screen with nothing written for morning…

Mother’s day flowers

Small granddaughters sign their names

All’s well with the world

    Hope you don’t lose any more fish. Glad the rest of your Mothers’ Day was nice… Even if it was exhausting.

    I sometimes miss having fish and the joy they bring, but I don’t miss those horrible days when you know something is wrong…

    Lovely sentiments, Sue. That’s what really matters, the people in our lives who care and that we care about. They’re beautiful flowers, and well deserved too. 🙂

      They are lovely, but the card is even better. My four-year old granddaughter signed her own name (and drew me a portrait of Ani) and her one year old sister ‘signed’ the envelope 🙂

        Oh that’s wonderful – and a simple squiggle says so much! I got all choked too, because my 8 year old son, who’s autistic, made me a card at school and wrote so nicely in it, and he gave me a hug and wished me happy mother’s day. They’re all little stars, aren’t they? 🙂
