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.

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

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 didn´t 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?).Originally Posted by Danik 2016
Love your haiku ! The birds are very abundant here now that spring on this side of the equator is in full gear.
