Lunch Break: 2146

2146

these wet leaves -
some of the morning rain held
in reserve

Went out for breakfast this morning with my daughter, we haven't had a morning out just the two of us for quite some time.

Sunday Smiles

As well - a little serving of Basho
A monk sips morning tea,
it's quiet,
the chrysanthemum's flowering.
© Matsuo Bashō 1644-1694 Translated by Robert Hass
