Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. I created this as a private blog — cloud storage for my writings — but decided to open it for sharing my haiku musings with the world. I’ve been writing haiku for about two years now and enjoy the challenge of it.

A bit about me:
I’m Christine; my husband and I live in south-central Saskatchewan, Canada, southwest of Saskatoon. Our home’s on an acreage with a little woods on one side and a natural wetland or slough on the other – and we aren’t far from the South Sask. River — so this is a nature lover’s, bird-watcher’s dream! We also have three cats that inspire me with the occasional haiku, too.

I’m a homemaker, mother, grandma, poet, writer and blogger.  My husband, Bob, is a bookkeeper and blogs, too. His blogs are more about spiritual and doctrinal questions, where my main blog is a mixture and my poetry blog contains all kinds of short poems and anecdotes. I am in the process of publishing a book of poems and short parable-type stories right now; I’m hoping to soon hold the first copy in my hands. Exciting!

Thanks for stopping by my blog — and “WELCOME” to new followers.  I hope you’ll enjoy and be encouraged by the items posted here and feel free to comment on any of them.

Christine
