Haibun: Shifting Sands

The rafters are rattling as Storm Gareth sweeps by. The temperature has dropped again, the winter coats are on. The dunes look different. We can see roots of grass, seaweed in unfamiliar places.

We hope everyone in Storm Gareth’s path stays safe and dry.

    1. Thank you dear Cathy, they wondered what had happened to the dunes and were cautious as some of the new ridges were unstable. Hope you’re keeping safe and warm too and much love to you and Finn from all of us here 🤗🐾💖🐾 xxx

  7. Tippy and I hope you are staying safe and warm. The wind and rain did make for some interesting sand sculptures. Glad Eivor and Pearl were cautiously exploring. I love to see them interacting with nature.
