re: Thanks! Petrichor. Learned that the smell of rain has an own name! Liked the onomatopeia of your breakfast.

Liked that image. Enjoying writing Haikus, they are a good image training. Still having much difficulty though with the more extensive forms.

Pensive doves!
Another bright image :)
Haikus were among my favorite poetic training exercises... their brevity an aesthetic expression. Studying Basho's poetry is an illumination.

:( Grrrrrrrrrrrr!
More of a country life vignette I guess... ~ 81% generated. Btb: get my chxn at the store... and
chxn eggs have gone from $13/5-dozen to $18/5-dozen very quickly here (which had fluctuated from $8/5-dozen to $10/5-dozen seasonally at the big box stores last year - all prices USD)... Avian flu and new Farm Regulatory laws related. $5/dozen by local farm providers now. I will be scaling down my egg breakfasts accordingly. May have to buy some chxns.

re: Not appropriate "country life vignette" if one loves animals, though I own buying chicken in stores makes one forget, that they were killed. One of my frustrations is that I didnīt manage to become vegetarian. Meat of all sorts and eggs prices have increased greatly here also, with a two digit inflation. Hardly it eggs any more, because of intolerance. Always wondered and envied the robust Nord American stomachs that tolerate FRIED eggs for breakfast. I hope you find a good substitute, scaling a bit down might be positive for cholesterol.

Re: cholesterol... I have averaged eating 5-dozen eggs a month for more years than I can remember and my latest value is 144 from my blood donation recap letter results dated 2/8/2022... which is in the acceptable range... It's never been high for some reason (genetics?).Quote:
