A Girl and Her Dog
It's Sepia Saturday again. Since my dear mother is recovering from shoulder replacement surgery, I thought I'd feature her image this week. This is little Betty with her dog Spot. She was born in a small town in Oregon, the third of four sisters. The Depression defined her childhood, though I don't know how much she knew or understood. Her high school years were spent in the shadow of World War Two. She went to college at a time when women sought an "MRS." degree. She had a lovely singing voice and often performed as the vocalist for weddings and funerals. I remember once when I was really little that she was on television in Indianapolis. She worked in the library at Butler University, putting Hubby through school, so to speak. She worked on and off through my childhood, when working mothers were somewhat odd and not at all normative.

twirly skirts

EGWow: isn't it fun to look at a photo and see something unexpected?
Leslie and Uma: Haiku My Heart totally delights me because I love pairing words and images.
Spadoman: It would take some effort and still wouldn't be perfect, I suspect.
B and B: as Butler would say, everything is light reflected.
Cathy (GrandmaK): That's what we should all aspire to --dancing in beauty!
Ramesh: That's what imaginations are for.
Deb: I love haiku calls and responses. It reminds me of kirtan. And I think that your skirt would need a bit of lace in addition to the crystals.
Jean: I took that early one morning, when the city was quiet and there was dew on everything. It was magical.
Southwest Arkie: Thanks!
ControllingaSpicyUniverse: Thanks - it has a delicate beauty that's appealing, I think.

Have a good day, Boonie
Thanks so much for your birthday love on the blog today ! You made me laugh out loud with the boobs comment ! (Only problem, I have big jeans and big boobs ! But I still have a hell of a lot more to celebrate than worry about !)
Happy Friday, Meri !
Your comment made me realize that I had put in last week's link in the haiku list this morning.
Thanks.
Obviously not all Virgoes are equally organized and meticulous :-(
What are these lovely flowers deserving of your haiku?
Other than upside-down tulips I mean:-)
Boonie: Oh, the pressure!
Kim: I've responded personally so nobody else is reading our body woes.
MoreMemes: Virgos, organized? Well, maybe sometimes, but sometimes distracted, too. And I don't have a clue what kind of flowers these are. . . I found them in a public garden, no tags attached.
Stephanie: Me too, if my waist were that small.
All the best Marinela x

Beautiful image to go with your elegant haiku! I ♥ it!!
FoxySue and Scarlet Ily: Finding beauty in the world and bringing it to consciousness in myself and others is a passion.
Turquoise Cro: sent you a message.
Ms Pie: these flowers aren't tulips or crocus, but I'm not sure what they are. They were in a public garden with no tags attached. I've never seen them before.
Noelle: Thanks for you words and the links to the articles and images. They hit the spot.
