THUNDER FAR AWAY

in the early morning, lightning too. First the lightning then the thunder, I know.
After the rain there came a hot sunshine. Mischa and I biked to the Papageienhof in Herstelle. It was hot but not yet too hot for the birds, the caretaker told us. From there in the heath to Diemel Höhe and back home. Cool drinks and choosing a photo. Mine is taken in the garden, a bee jump in the malva-flower.

The haiku:

Let the fresh water
From above down the steep stones
Cool the herds shivering hot

The proverb is from Spenser:

Each goodly thing is hardest to begin.
