Thank you very much Sara, wish my garden looked like that. My six weeks are up now and I'm able to drive again and don't have to wear compression socks. Still got to watch what I do, no picking up any heavy weights for a few months. Tom

Hello Tom - Hi. I turned to an older page and entry at random and my eye went directly to this entry. This haiku is in perfect form voice and tone. Truly. Nature is amazing and so is Spring. Thank you for sharing. Remain safe and have a wonderful weekend. Blessings always...
