My tentative plan is to drive from New Orleans to Hot Springs, Arkansas.<br /><br />Right now, the co-administrator, Steve, is busy setting up the Autumn site, so he won't be taking over the Summer one. He has enough to do right now, plus if Hanna heads his way, he might also have evacuation plans.<br /><br />It's been a pleasure to haiku with you. I hope to participate more in the Autumn.<br /><br />IsabelUnknownnoreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2254149981876575144.post-63396777776460122092008-08-29T12:42:00.000-05:002008-08-29T12:43:16.981-05:00again, she pauses<br />in front of him<br />in her new sports bra<br />his eyes remain focused<br />on his bookUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2254149981876575144.post-30847113107434691942008-08-29T03:05:00.001-05:002008-08-29T03:07:51.737-05:00morning jaunt<br />single yellow rose<br />waves in the breezeUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2254149981876575144.post-37161270582167634472008-08-28T13:35:00.003-05:002008-08-28T13:44:05.644-05:00early <br />morning tea in bed ~<br />she stirsUnknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2254149981876575144.post-19242859352423170542008-08-28T04:37:00.001-05:002008-08-28T04:37:53.217-05:00tea party <br />under the linden tree ~<br />snails in our shoesUnknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2254149981876575144.post-23621086828868164762008-08-28T03:56:00.000-05:002008-08-28T03:57:00.256-05:00midnight shift<br />stopped by the smell of rain<br />at open bay doorsUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2254149981876575144.post-11470979985147133462008-08-27T16:07:00.006-05:002008-08-27T16:17:39.244-05:00Autumn Haiku 2008<span style="font-family:arial;">Hello one and all!
