Ernesto Cisneros delivers a fun time travel book that takes 12 year old Queso back to 1985 where he gets to spend time with his father at the same age. Imagine getting to help your parent as one of their peers, and doing it during the 80’s. This one sucked me in.
Dog resting on concrete with his head propped against chair leg.
resting weary head
making do with what he has
dreaming of the couch

Shadow of cat sitting in front of TV with ice skater performing at the Olympics
watching the action
lots of sparkles zipping by
don’t know what this is
#haikuSaturday
Snow capped mountain in the distance, lake reflecting dried shrubs and trees.
off in the distance
past the parched terrain waiting
white snow capped mountains
#haikuSaturday
Grey cat curled up on a blanket under a window
hiding from world
found this quiet spot to rest
tucked away at peace
#haikuSaturday
A pink flamingo standing on one leg with its head headed in its feathers
best part of Vegas
not found under flashing lights
outside with the birds

Cactus growing in the rocks at the edge of Grand Canyon
sometimes it’s only
a small prickly thing standing
in front of the fall

Book titles Overruled by Christy Wopat under a small decorated tree
End of year goal: read 7 books in 26 days to hit 100 for 2025. This gem by Christy Wopat is up next. There are writers who read and then people like me: readers who write. There is something special about books read by the Christmas tree.
Early sun rising over a frosty field with a walking trail along the right side.
morning sun rises
shaking off frosty blanket
zestful beginning
#haikuSaturday
start of a journey
headed for an adventure
Bags and mind ready
#haikuSaturday
morning yoga time
not a fan of downward dog
prefers to just watch
#haikuSaturday
meander through trees
sheathed in all their autumn best
follow golden trail
#haikuSaturday
leafy fall backdrop
yellow with a tinge of green
highlights true beauty
silent rock watching
resting amongst the flowers
greeter at the beach
#haikuSaturday
ocean bubble bath
wind and waves disturb water
sea foam sweeps ashore
#haikuSaturday
new word for old dog
beach added to vocab list
morning game changer
#haikuSaturday
living on the edge
unable to take the next step
rooted to this spot
#HaikuSaturday
when the clouds roll in
morning sun is pushed aside
day calls for muffins
#haikusaturday
just waiting to play
me and my ball will be here
ready when you are
#haikuSaturday
lookout on duty
keeping eye out for danger
bright spot of color
#haikusaturday
setting sun’s waning light
still pushing through smoky clouds
scorching day closing
giant wish waiting
to take flight with secret hopes
carried in the breeze
peeking around trees
morning light beckons to me
through the wispy clouds
#haikuSaturday
someone has their ducks
all in a row on the dash
directing the ride
lounging together
in the coolness of the shade
best buds united
#haikuSaturday
sunshine from above
is all it takes to flourish
no matter the base
hidden behind clouds
concealed sunlight staying strong
still seeks to shine down
#haikuSaturday
under speckled sky
stuffing shaken from dog toy
splendid summer day
dog bed begs for use
soft grass beckons from nearby
yet, rocky path wins
#haikuSaturday
air heavy today
full of possibilities
lurking all around
