Eventide Bells


        




                       flowers are weeping
                       sister wildflowers are gone
                       stars shedding soft tears

Very sad Panagiota, I can only imagine how difficult it is to breath with this devastation. Be brave and be well. An excellent Haiku Hugs, Jenn.

Jenn, Thank you for thinking of us, I do know of families personally who had to evacuate. I hope this never happens to me. I heard of a woman who was forced to leave her beloved pet behind to burn, I honestly think, that's so cruel. Maria said she should have insisted NO WAY. Thank you so much for thinking of Californians....hundreds of fire still destroying us. Panagiota xx

Now I get to return the favor of being a first to comment ;) The fires are all over the news and we grieve for you all in NoCal; for the air quality, the evacuations, the fear of destruction, and like you wrote, the elimination of nature's beauty. Praying God will extinguish soon and restore the beauty of creaton. A's look good, though! 1st in the West! Blessings ~ John

How very sweet, John, in being the first. I look at POTD's late in the day. Glad the rest of the state is aware of what is going on here. A disaster! It is up to God. You know that saying." God never leaves more than you can handle on your plate" ?. From my life experience, this is so! Thanks for the prayers, John. I saw the end of the A's game last night. Tough luck, Mike Trout!))
