A little bit about moi:
I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator.
I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors.
Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka.
I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other.

Tournesol dans un Jardin 
It is hard to imagine that, though it has been cold, winter has not yet begun.
Especially with the grass here still green and the false warmth creating blooms for bushes and trees.
I’ve thought about putting the down cover away for a bit… but then the night gets cold.

We no longer can see the grass here but piles of snow is melting with the mild temperatures. The good thing about milder temps, the snow is perfect for a snowman:)

Thank you, Hamish, I’m so glad you liked them…I think the second described the image best…how that grass is crushed by heavy snow…well, here anyway, it turned to wet heavy snow.

Even when trampled by snow, the grasses inspire writers!

I really like the resolute quality of the line “blades braving the wind” – then, of course, the trampling snow arrives… but when it melts the grasses look so much more lush as they spring up 🙂
