vivastory I've been reflecting a lot bc I'm the age now that my mom was when she passed away but it seems like it just happened 2d

dabbe It's sooooo hard. My heart goes out to you. 💚💜💚 2d

CBee @vivastory oh Scott. She was young! I‘m so sorry. 2d

CBee @dabbe the worst 😢 thank you! 2d

vivastory @CBee Thanks, Cyd. Losing a parent is something that changes you forever (as you know too well) 2d

CBee @vivastory that I do 😢 2d

BarbaraBB That is so beautiful and so sad. I know the feeling (my father died three years ago) and it‘ll never be the same. Sending love ❤️ 2d

CSeydel Hugs, Cyd. 💗💔 3 years for me … feels like no time at all. Her birthday was May 3 so that week leading up to Mother‘s Day is always low for me. We weren‘t on great terms those last few years … and now I guess we never will be (edited) 1d

CBee @CSeydel oh Carrie 😢 I‘m so sorry. I agree it feels like no time at all. May is a low month for me as well, Mother‘s Day, then the anniversary of her death, so I get it. I do hope you can find peace somehow even though you weren‘t on good terms ♥️♥️ 1d

CSeydel 💙🩵🤍 1d

I love stream of consciousness writing, it can be so therapeutic.
#haikuaday (or maybe every other day 😂) #haikuhive

TheSpineView I have never written anything in a stream before. Maybe I should give it a try because I find journaling hard and therefore not relaxing. 💛🐝😘 7d

JenlovesJT47 Yes! Writing is my therapy. 💛🐝🖤 7d

CBee @TheSpineView if you just write, not worrying about punctuation or any other “rules,” it can be really freeing and helpful. You should try and see 😊 7d

CBee @JenlovesJT47 writing these haikus is making me remember how much I enjoy it! 7d

JenlovesJT47 Same! Was in a rut for awhile but I‘ve written more in the past week than the whole past year combined. 😳 7d

AnnCrystal 🤩 that's intriguing 👏🏼🐝👍🏼✍️🐝💝. (edited) 7d

dabbe You've captured exactly what SOC is. The picture's perfect, too! 🖤🐝💛 7d

lil1inblue This one is so clever! I love the metaphor! 💫 🐝 💫 7d

bellabella 💛 🐝 💛 😍 😍 😍 7d

CBee @JenlovesJT47 omg yep, same 😳😳🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😂😂 7d

CBee @AnnCrystal @dabbe @lil1inblue thank you 💛🐝 7d

Eggs Absolutely agree 💯 Love the haiku AND the background❣️ 6d

Reggie I like this so much. I felt like I fell into the water after that last line. 6d

CBee @Eggs it was meant to be because the background is a PicCollage collection called “haiku patterns” 😊 6d

CBee @Reggie thank you! I feel like that‘s what I meant to convey - sort of a letting go and being free. But be sure you have a life jacket 😂 6d

Eggs @CBee Wow! How serendipitous! 6d

DebinHawaii This is so perfect! 🖤🐝🖤 6d

Deblovestoread Perfectly worded. 1w

CBee @Reggie @lil1inblue thank y‘all - I‘m enjoying writing them 💛 (edited) 1w

CBee @Deblovestoread thank you ♥️ 1w

dabbe The alliteration in this contributes to the monotonous feeling; you hit this emotion right on its head! 💛🐝🖤 1w

CBee @dabbe it‘s so funny because as I‘m writing them, I‘m not even noticing the alliteration 😂 1w

dabbe @CBee I think you're intrinsically feeling it, though! 😍 1w

DebinHawaii I feel this in my soul lately! 🖤🐝🖤 6d

These little wrens are some of our favorite birds. I discovered a pair building a nest in a hanging plant - so far, no eggs, but apparently they build multiple nests and then choose the best one. Still hopeful! Such spunky little friends. #haikuaday #haikuhive

BooksandCoffee4Me Ah, I love this!! We‘ve had hummingbirds nest on our wind chimes a couple of years. So fun to watch for the babies and see them grow. 💛 1w

Eggs Beautiful 🦜🤩 🐦 1w

DebinHawaii I love this. Such a pretty little bird & you‘ve captured her so well! Also love “speckled eggs surprise!” 💛🐝💛 1w

CBee @BooksandCoffee4Me now, hummingbirds are my absolute favorite! I would die if they were nesting where I could see it. I wish we could post videos on Litsy, because once summer really hits, the hummers are out in full force! I love to stand out there and watch them zoom - they are wonderful ♥️ 1w

CBee @DebinHawaii thank you! 1w

AnnCrystal 😍“Speckled Eggs Surprise“ Love, absolutely love 👏🏼🐝👍🏼🐦🐝💝. 1w

CBee @AnnCrystal @bellabella thank you 🥰 1w

Tamra Funny you mention it! I only just late last week put up a hanging basket and today I discovered there is already a nest with a tiny blue egg. House wren family. They have been busy! (edited) 1w

CBee @Tamra that‘s wonderful!! I read that they lay one egg a day, so you should have more tomorrow and maybe the next day ♥️♥️ 1w

Reggie What an awesome snapshot of nature in a haiku! This rocks, chica! 1w

CBee @Reggie aw, thanks! ♥️ 1w

julieclair I love Carolina Wrens! Such cheerful, perky little things! 🐥 1w

CBee @julieclair yes, they are so spunky and perky!! 1w

Tamra @CBee woot! 🐣 I made a mistake, mine are house finches. Still cute though. 😁 (edited) 1w

CBee @Tamra we get lots of those too 😊 1w

How to Take Your Grandmother to the Museum | Lois Wyse, Molly Rose Goldman

My Grandma made this crab meat dip for every family holiday dinner. Each one of my kids as well as my dad, my brother and even me have made ourselves sick eating too much of it. Last year after my mom died my brother couldn‘t find the recipe. I had it as written on the green paper by one of my sons several years ago. I translated it to the white paper for family sharing. #LitsyLoveBingo

TieDyeDude, Read4life, Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

julieclair Love this story! And the dip sounds soooo yummy. Thanks for sharing! 💙 7mo

Princess-Kingofkings @julieclair My mom bought this book for my youngest son. They enjoyed reading it together! 7mo

julieclair Thanks for this recommendation! Stacked. Also adding it to my budding list of Grandma Books. 😀 7mo

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Sounds delicious 😋 7mo

#TeamReindeerGamers A reminder to send me those points, girls! @annahenke @Karons1 @MatchlessMarie @aperfectmjk @TorieStorieS @Bluebird

TorieStorieS Sorry— this puppy has taken over my life!! I‘m behind on everything now!! And I think I only have 60 points! 1y

LiseWorks I want a photo of that puppy, this is why crate training is so important. They need a lot of rest and so do the you lol. Oh the joys of puppyhood! 🐕 1y

TorieStorieS Yes- we are crate training but with four Christmas trees up and a house that only had a senior dog in it, we have been busy! My last two physical book reviews have pictures of him! But he‘s getting bigger by the day! 1y

aperfectmjk @LiseWorks I'm behind on tallying my points, I haven't factored in my readathon points, but right now I'm at 32,773, so just include that for now. I'll add my readathon points and bingos at the end. I've been so busy with work, baking, and wrapping, it's been hard to get everything updated. 1y

LiseWorks @aperfectmjk thank you, your awesome 1y
