Hello, All --

Woke up thinking I'd better wash the windows today because ... and Mary's haiku came to mind. She wrote it in her 20s when she was still Mary Andrews. A haiku is "an unrhymed 3-line Japanese poem of 5, 7, and 5 syllables that refers in some way to a season of the year."

Suburban Haiku

How do the women
on their ladders know it's the
last warm day this year?

No wonder I married her.

Best,

Bill P.
