Haiku for my mom on Mother's Day...or the day before Mother's Day.

Connie in bluejeans
Digs and digs and digs and digs;
under dogwood tree.

Dirt under nails grow
Plans for Halloween in spring!
Fairy garden screams.

Into house she comes
Smelling of tomato leaves;
Missing lab? Think not.

Potato, carrot,
Onion, Chicken, chop,
Into crock pot toss.

Few cats here, some there,
Dog follows everywhere;
Neighborhood grandma.

Big car cruising now,
Drives 465.
Why are they honking?

Lil’ purse draped mid-arm;
Dainty lady hither comes.
Beware swinging brick.

Delivers birthday cake,
Special frosting flowers;
Only slanted some.

Night’s here, time for drinks;
Pepsi, ice, Southern Comfort.
Lar’ snores in big chair.

Mom sleeps, TV on.
Daughters grown, always loving,
Connie in bluejeans.
