Thoroughly Poetic Thursday
Sometimes when photos “speak” to me, I find that I need very few words to express my feelings. That was the case with today’s inspiration photo.
Autumn is my favorite season. I just wish winter didn’t follow. My contribution to Angel Sammy and Teddy’s poetry day is another haiku.
A walk through the woods
On a cool, crisp autumn day
My heaven on earth

Thankful Thursday
In addition to writing a poem each Thursday, we join Brian’s Thankful Thursday blog hop. It is important to count our blessings everyday, and we appreciate Brian giving us the opportunity to do that and hop as well.
Our biggest thankful is that Hurricane Florence has made a turn and is heading in a more southernly direction. It was looking as we would take a direct hit, but now we just expect gobs and gobs of rain. (Does rain come in gobs?) The following photo may provide an answer.
This is the site for our addition after three inches of rain Tuesday night.
I will be praying for all those in the path of this 400-mile-wide storm.
Dad Tom and I are both grateful that since increasing Sawyer’s new medication he has not had a seizure. Of course, we cannot rule out the chance of him having one at anytime, but I am beginning to feel less anxious and worried.
It warms our hearts that LadyMum Sherri-Ellen was able to adopt of little, six-year-old, black panfur kitty. BellaDharma was adopted twice previously but returned to the shelter. We are thankful that she finally has a forever and loving home at the Purrfect Pad.
Finally, Kitties Blue are thankful that I remembered on Tuesday to visit Two Spoiled Cats, as we were one of five first commenters and received this colorful badge.

* Waiting for autumn, construction to begin, Hurricane Florence…
I am very thankful that most people understood about P SH & the Panleuk. And thankful that people are welcoming BellaDharma to the blog world. She is a VERY shy & quiet girl. I think I’ve got her talked into doing Sunday Selfie this Sunday! Paws crossed!
Janet that is a lovely Haiku to go with the bench photo! You are so talented.
Love to everyone there, Sherri-Ellen & BellaDharma x0x0
Great haiku, autumn is my favorite too. I am glad Sawyer is doing well. XO
Sounds like Florence will bypass your abode….thank heavens. We purr and pray for those in the wake of Florence. This is one scary situation.
Jean and Shoko
Great Haiku. Lots to be thankful for and we hope everyone stays safe from the storm.
The Florida Furkids with bazillion smoochies and tons of love to Mau from Allie.
Love your Haiku! Perfect for that great picture. So happy that Sawyer is doing so well. Is the addition for you or the Kitties Blue? 😹.
We love your haiku and agree with you about fall…and winter. We are purring for all those that will be affected by Florence. Stay safe…and dry.
We hope everyone will be safe in the hurricane’s path. Autumn weather we can not wait until you get here. Great to hear that Sawyer is doing much better. BellaDharma, we hope your having a blast in your new furever home. Thanks for sharing all the wonderful news. Enjoy the rest of your day.
Yes your biggest thankful is the storm is just going to give you gobs and gobs of rain.
Have a fabulous Thankful Thursday. Scritches to all the kitties. ♥

Beautiful photo and fabulous haiku! We hope everyone in the path of the hurricane stays safe! Your addition may become a swimming pool!
Why yes, yes of course you can get ‘gobs’ of rain!
Hope it all isn’t as bad as they say!
Oh that goofy storm. Now it’s headed here to us and Marg, yuck. We’ll all be thankful when it’s all gone. Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Love this haiku……has the distinct flavor of a fall day……we thought that photo was so “vivid” that you could almost smell the leaves and fog. We couldn’t be happier that the storm will spare you all but a bit of rain but our hearts go out to all those who have had to leave their homes and find shelter as this powerful storm hits the shore later today. I know that Angel Sammy will be so happy that you all continue to participate in Poetic Thursday’s FUN!
Love, Teddy
Pawsome poem!
Dat storm shure are lookin nasty.
We are purring lots for the humans and critters in the hurricane’s path too – and there are a LOT of them in its path.
