I could live without it! Your commenting reminded me to post the next haiku. It almost escaped me.

Glad I reminded you. I’m counting on my response to be this week’s fraiku. Until then!

We had snow yesterday. A chilly-willy 17 degrees when I woke up this morning. Lovely haiku, Bartholomew!

We moved here for the seasons. Winter is beautiful here, as long as I don’t have to shovel it.!
