Haiku My Heart Friday

Rebecca of Recuerda mi Corazon was

"inspired by work of the poet

and her Ruby Tuesdays

the idea of a haiku festival crept into her mind while driving to the studio.

moments later she stopped in at her favorite thrift store

and found three japanese haiku collections from the fifties.

which completely cinched the deal.

The 10-minute Storm

We looked to the northeast, the sky was black, we heard rumbling and saw jagged lightening. The wind whipped up and everyone at the pool knew we should pack up our things and get the heck out of there. We made our way to the parking lot and the rumbling got louder.

By the time we got into our car and drove a block or two it began to pour, heavy rain along with small balls of hale. Visibility was terrible, the windshield wipers did little. Inside of 10 minutes the sky began to clear, the rain stopped. The roads were wet and covered with leaves and branches, the sky turned bright blue again.

For Ruby Tuesday this week I have a photo and a quiz:



Do you know who this lady is? Here are a couple of hints:

She lived with her husband in Quincy, Mass.
She is pictured here with her son.
Her collected letters are in print.
Her family home is called Peacefield.

Click here for the answer.

Shadow Shot Sunday

Washington Square Park

The Washington Square Arch is there in the middle at the Northern edge of the park.

Washington Square Park is one of the best-known of New York City's 1,900 public parks. At 9.75 acres (39,500 m²), it is a landmark in the Manhattan neighborhood of Greenwich Village, as well as a meeting place and center for cultural activity. It is operated by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.

An open space with a tradition of nonconformity, the park's fountain area has long been one of the city's popular spots for residents and tourists. Most of the buildings surrounding the park now belong to New York University. Some of the buildings have been built by NYU, others have been converted from their former uses into academic and residential buildings

We were going to the Kimmel Center (part of NYU) to see our grand-nephew, Jarome, graduate from pre-K. Can you imagine?

Ruby Tuesday

I thought it would be appropriate to post our American flag for Ruby Tuesday because it's Flag Day in the United States.

This is the flag that flies in front of our shopping center. It cooperated with me that day so I was able to get some nice shots.

Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened that day by resolution of the Second Continental Congress in 1777.^[1]

In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day; in August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress.

So join us for Ruby Tuesday! We love having you!

See you Monday!

All my posts are up for the weekend (hope Blogger does right by me! ) Will be back on Monday to visit and comment!

Look for 5 on Friday, Maxine on Saturday and Shadow Shot Sunday below!
