I'm SO sorry. I thought I left a comment already. I really love the first haiku and the nutmeg ice cream. Your fruit looks delicious. I love the woman power AI image of you. And of course, that's a great entry for Matilde's theme at AJJ. Thanks for sharing. Happy Holiday.

It's a holiday here in the US too. Today was the day the last slaves were freed in Texas back in the 1860's. They hadn't heard they had been free. It was great reading about your holiday. And I LOVE your mug. And your cool building piece for AJJ. Thanks for linking up. And the bee haiku. Super post Gillena. :) Have a great Friday. hugs-Erika
