blackbird tugs and pulls
at rowan berry bunches
sun ripened, rain fed
D took this photo in our cottage garden, we’ve got two rowans providing shade from the evening sun. It’s a lovely sheltered spot our decking at the end of the garden as they provide a bit of a wind break too.

Our cat Katie has been labouring with a back injury of late, she hasn’t got the confidence in springing at the moment, so on vet’s instruction we’re monitoring her, to see if she’s showing any improvement.
It may be that’s she’s just getting old of course, poor thing. She likes it when we’re outside, she feels safe around us, knowing we’ll look after her and the likelihood of her having to sprint away from danger is minimal.
Well, today, what with it being beautifully hot, even into the evening, I fully expected her to lie in his usual spot, a little curled cat shaped indentation in the leaf litter, wedged between the trunk of the rowan tree and the edge of the decking. She didn’t oblige me as she wanted to stay up on the table of course.
I love that cat’s are so fickle. So this Haiku is for Katie, we love her very much!
