#HaikuADay #HaikuHive
Saturday was planned to be a mix of errands & relaxing. I wrote the before haiku sat at a quiet table in the mall waiting for a craft fair to start. A spontaneous stop by the Apple Store to look at upgrading my old iPhone took a few hours & led to the after. #2fer

Before:
Errands and delight
Tangled in one easy day
Joy in the stillness

After:
Plans lost to the void
Apple Store, my holding cell
At least she's a beaut

⬇️

DebinHawaii … on the plus side of being trapped in the mall & mostly Apple with no phone but my Kindle meant I finished my read for #CampLitsy2025 I was behind on, read some for book #SundayBuddyRead tomorrow. I also have a lovely new Titanium Desert iPhone 16 Pro with more memory & a working battery. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤩 (edited) 35m

Saw the most spectacular sky last night while in the jacuzzi. I didn't have my phone, so this pic barely does it justice. The colors are forever embedded in my brain.

Heavens unfolded.
Blues, grays, and butter creams
danced across the sky.

Spent the day in the pool yesterday and butterflies were everywhere. Felt inspired (not my pic).

Fancy fluttering
flitting freely — fabulous,
flirty, fantastic. 🦋

Here‘s another pic from my sister from Toulouse. Lavender is my absolute favorite scent and I‘d love nothing more than to just lay down in a lavender field.

Fields of lavender
sway lazily in the breeze,
perfuming the air. 💜

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Fabulous idea! I have a stress lotion from Aveda and oil that I put on my temples at bed. It really does help you sleep! 💜 3h

One more! Had to do this one in French:

Une boulangerie?
Mais oui! Baguettes, croissants,
petits pains — superbe! 🇫🇷

A bakery? Oh yes!
Baguettes, croissants, rolls —
superb! 🇫🇷

lil1inblue I remembered enough French to read this without the translation! 🤩🤣😎 Love! 1d
Cuilin @lil1inblue same, and quite proud of myself. ☺️ 1d
AnnCrystal Délicieuse 👏🏼🐝👌🏼🥐😋🐝💝.

Note: there was a feminine and masculine translation of the world yummy?? If this yummy isn't about food, blame Google 😂🤔🤗.
1d
JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal the only word I know for yum in French is miam.🤤 Which word are you talking about? 1d
AnnCrystal @JenlovesJT47 translated yummy in French on Google and it gave me “Délicieuse“ for feminine and “Délicieux“ for masculine 😂...miam is the translation! That's good to know 🤗😉👍🏼. 1d
JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal ??‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️ I‘ve been out in the sun all day so don‘t mind me! ??‍? the first one you used is correct when talking about food. La nourriture délicieuse ? = delicious food ? 1d
AnnCrystal @JenlovesJT47 🆒😉👌🏼, at least I was in the ballpark of what I intended to say 😂.

La nourriture Délicieuse 🥐😋👍🏼💝💝🇫🇷💝💝.

Inaugurated
in 1892, paying homage to
Ocean Man — Victor.

Fun fact: “Ocean man" was a self-applied nickname Victor Hugo used to describe the male literary geniuses he admired, comparing their minds to the vastness of the ocean. The sea and natural world were a significant source of inspiration for his writing and artwork, particularly during his exile in the Channel Islands.

My sister is on vacation in Toulouse, France this week & she sent me some pics from Place Victor Hugo, so I thought I‘d share with my hive and those who #readLesMis — & of course, must write a haiku about it. ? If you zoom in on the street sign, it says Marché Victor Hugo (Victor Hugo Market).

Place Victor Hugo —
dreamy locale in the heart
of vibrant Toulouse. ??
