  1. I did enjoy your haiku. Thanks for sharing.

    Re Your link-up:-
    Is it themed?
    Is it a haiku or poetry link-up?

    Have a nice week.

  2. Borrowing water is better than going thirsty! (But I do hope she figures out a way to untangle her bucket.)

  16. I loved this Gillena. I don't ever recall getting a bucket entangled but did have to free other garden implements with loving care and provide alternative support where necessary. I thought I saw it grin or was it just the curl of a tendril...who knows?
