And God Smiled In the Apple Orchard

Crisp apple fragrance
        cheers a ripe sunny morning ~
                Pippins nip the air

                          ~

            A family gathers
    under the autumn sunshine
          picking the bounty
   Ladders rest against the trunks
     A picnic waits under trees
                         ~

           Children giggle while
       russet leaves whirl merrily~
God's eyes are smiling

Lovely, Carrie. One for the 'I do not know' form rather than haiku?
