Fine one Bill, and good to see you've returned.

Just this thought.

Tugs at my heart. My sweet aunt with whom I'm close has breast cancer and is going through chemo right now. It's tough.

Beautiful haiku. There is always hope. I know the Great Physician! :)

Thanks, Doug and Kristin and thank you, anonymous visitor. London was great, but it's great to be home again.

I did like many of those grounghog-haiku! This one also.

I visited last week Stockholm with a ferry boat and in the archipelago I saw some sea-eagles. They eat fish, as some eagles like to have f.e. a groundhog?

Thank you, RK.

Tikkis, I don't know if groundhog would be to the fish eagle's taste (or anyone else's, for that matter).
