Blankity Blank Blank
No, not bad words. That’s my brain
There’s nothing there.

Yard work all day long
Mow, pressure wash, clean, clean, clean
Make it kid friendly

Spider webs and weeds
cover the backyard and swings
90 degrees out

setting up the pool
cleaning off the swings and slide
Texas heat is here

Brisket is cooking
Potatoes ready to cut
Corn ready to grill

So there’s my haiku
Jennifer’s will be better
Others will be too

Seriously, Jennifer’s are always better as are the other super women and men who participate in Haiku Friday. So get on over there and show some love or linky loo and you can play, too.

I am the always proud and frequently exhausted mom to two 8th generation Texans My childhood was spent at my Granny's side learning to cook with cast iron, butter and that special southern ingredient -- love Today, I share my passion for food, family and photography with thousands of monthly readers on my blog, A Southern Fairytale. I love cute boots, my Canon camera, belly laughs with friends, the beach, my family and ellipses..."

  5. I’m with Bren. We could be there in about 8 hours. Can you throw another hunka meat on for us? I am so happy to FINALLY see some 80 degree weather. I’ve said for weeks, it’s like we were a month behind…March acted like Feby, April acted like March…now May acting like April. Where is the heat?

  14. I’ve had those days, too. But at least it isn’t as hot today as it was earlier in the week. 🙂
