We do not care that this book would have made a fabulous holiday gift, but it doesn't come out until January. We also do not care that we suffered yet another vertigo episode yesterday and have been dealing with it for over 30 years.
We also do not care that we are in no way ready for the holidays re: gifts, cards, decorations ... it all seems so overwhelming this year.
Care to share your “we do not cares?“ I'd love to hear 'em!

Unfortunately, this one is all too apparent these days.
Hi, Busy Bees!
I think it's time to untag all of us. Some of us are feeling especially hectic this time of year, and these tags can be overwhelming. Please just use the hashtags #haikuhive and/or #haikuaday. When any of us wants to see them, we know we can look them up by the hashtags.
I plan to keep on haiku-ing; it has been a joyous experience for me, and I hope you'll continue, too, with me. 🖤🐝💛

Had an attack of vertigo today, so I've been lying low. Lowly lying? Lying about being low? Feeling better now. To all who suffer from this, I feel your pain! 🩵

Can't believe we're on the last two book of the year! I was waiting all year to finally add LES MISERABLES! I've been reading it since 1/1/25 with the #readlesmis crew, and we will finish this month! Right, @TheBookHippie? 🤩

For me, it doesn't get more American than this. Jeanne Wakatsuki (the book's narrator) is a Nisei (child of a Japanese immigrant). At age seven, Wakatsuki—a native-born American citizen—and her family were living on Ocean Park, CA, when they have to move to Terminal Island, where her father, a fisherman who owned two boats, was arrested by the FBI following the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941.
#haikuaday #haikuhive
Such nostalgia this time of year.
I am agnostic,
but I can still hearken back
to my pagan self.

The last of the “ber“ months. SLOW down, time! But then again, move quickly through this administration!
December is now here--
and the ending of the year.
Winter's hush draws near.

pickTHE HOUSE OF SILK is Anthony Horowitz‘s authorized addition to the Sherlock Holmes canon, written with the approval of the Conan Doyle estate. It aims to deliver a new Holmes adventure that feels authentically Victorian while still offering modern narrative momentum. It is widely regarded as one of the strongest modern pastiches of Sherlock Holmes. ⬇️
#haikuaday #haikuhive #thelitsyirregulars #sherlockpastiche #haikureview
Just finished this one yesterday. Once it got going, I couldn't put it down!
Holmes stands in the rain––
a boy's death shifts every clue
as the Silk grows near.

#5JoysFriday @Debinhawaii
1. A steroid shot has made all the difference with my shoulder and neck.
2. Being able to celebrate my niece's wedding and Thanksgiving with both sides of the family.
3. Long walks and cool days.
4. Matt. #always
5. Pippa & Kate. #always
#haikuhive #haikuaday
Sigh.
Shadows now fill that house.
I miss this family's steady daylight––
calm hearts guiding us.

This is my grandniece Amelia. Her family was in town for another niece's wedding. Her family took an extended trip north and visited the Grand Canyon for the first time. She is laying on glass one mile directly above the canyon. She and her brother Leo had a ball. 🩷💙🩷
Miss Amelia's
first visit to the Grand
Canyon won't be her last.

We just got back from an early evening walk. Now Matt's reading, Pippa's chewing, Kate's guarding, and I'm reading on my Kindle. Great being with family yesterday but so happy to be cozy at home today.

•Our oak tree, Rusty.
•Three pies I made on 3 different Thanksgivings: apple, pumpkin, and pecan
•Our niece Shane after we had raked the leaves. He's now 21.

My sister sent this picture to all of the sisters: a street none of us had seen before. My mother's name was “Carol Ann“. She's been gone since 2011, and we miss her most during November-December, her favorite time of year. Feeling it a lot today. 🧡🍁♥️

Since shoulder surgery, I cleaned my entire house today. Even vacuuming and mopping. I can barely move my shoulder (or other parts), but I feel like I actually accomplished something. #whew
