#HaikuADay #HaikuHive
When I was driving along Hwy 19 in Kona yesterday there was a family of dark brown goats (males, females, kids) just casually walking down the side of the highway. Apparently they are feral& pretty common but their casual stroll captured my attention & inspired today‘s haiku:
Goat Gang 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Brown goat parade struts
Like they own the whole highway—
Cruisin‘ Kona style.

pick🌕🌕🌕🌕🌖 Definitely better than Ishmael, much more engaging dialogue and a better understanding of the characters and setting. I did feel the need to dock a small amount for personal preference because of the slump it left me on halfway through the book. I wasn't expecting that turn in the story, and it honestly didn't appeal to me at all, just made it seem boring.
Started this one a few days ago. I like it a lot more than Ishmael, that's for sure! This book so far is like Ishmael with better back-and-forth dialogue and characterization.
#CoverStories #Barn Spin wool , make cheese, make bricks ,cure bacon! My grandparents could make almost everything, I have always been interested in the old folkways. If we keep going the dystopian way we all may need books like this !
"The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these qualities have little to do with success as we have defined it.”
The debut of fair-trade-certified coffee in the United States in 1999 was an important event. After years of growth, fair-trade-sales in Europe had begun to stagnant and in some cases even decline. The United States consumes an astounding one-fifth of the world‘s coffee—more than any other nation-making coffee the country‘s single most valuable food import. ☕️
pickI enjoyed this take on local eating that shows how, even in a small apartment in a northern climate, one can eat locally. I loved the personal insights and farmer portraits. And it made me hungry, which is the best thing I can say about a food book. 😂 Picture is part of our haul from this week‘s farmers market. It‘s winter squash season!
