Also, a haiku set I sent to my gardening buddy at church the other day ...

A few degrees rise
Makes all the difference in mood
Spring seems possible

Snowbanks sigh, weeping
Puddles of despair at their
Diminishing bulk

A sure sign of Spring
Seed orders have been placed and
Hopes of planting grow

Gardens lie sleeping
Beneath thick blankets of snow
Stone and soil as one

But in the mind’s eye
Growing things sprout, flower
Vivid, verdant green
