“Joy”
Celebration days,
gathered in autumn’s breeze for
love, life, and bubbles.

Haiku Sunday – Peppercorn
“Peppercorn”
Earthy like autumn,
gin that chills and soothes, finished
with a summer’s bite.
My sister-in-law had a genius gift idea for me for Christmas this past year: infusion ingredients for gin. I got a box of eight different ingredients–herbs, flowers, spices, etc.–to infuse gin with. Best. Gift. Ever.
I love gin, and I love mixing up cocktails. The one pictured above is Hendrick’s gin (my personal favorite) infused with pink peppercorns. Notice how all the color leeched out of the peppercorns and tinged the gin. We have some other tasty concoctions aging in our liquor cabinet at the moment.

This song does not particularly remind me of autumn. I just liked that the line fit in seven syllables.

Haiku Sunday – Memo
“Memo”
Burning love letters
Dance in chorus – a memo:
We’ll see you again!

Haiku Sunday – Breeze
“Breeze”
Autumn sings cool notes,
Blanketing the summer heat;
Subtle minor keys

My wedding is almost exactly one year away, and we have most of the major plans in place already (thanks mostly to my fiance, but whatever, I helped!).
