Early morning Friday haiku & Chronicles

April 5, 2019 By Marit 7 Comments

Good morning beautiful ones, good sunshiny morning! Yes, let’s start this Friday with sunsine, shall we?!

Friday haiku

Photo made by my friend Lena Schreijenberg

De wereld slaapt maar
zij loopt op dit vroege uur
de zon tegemoet
The world’s asleep but
she walks in the early hours
straight towards the sun

I submit this haiku to Recuerda Mi Corazon where our lovely hostess Rebecca brings us all together to share a haiku on Friday: Haiku my Heart.

Although temperatures are still not very high in the Netherlands, there’s the promise of Spring in the air, Spring’s on my dining table (Narcissus ‘Tête-a-Tête’ in a flower pot) and the promise that the weather-man made on television “expect higher temperatures in the weekend.” So what’s not to like on this day then eh?!

I finished this art journal spread last week and it also shows that hint of Spring…

The Chronicles of Marit 2019 – Week 13

The little houses on the bottom of the page are stamps from Jessica Sporn Designs, which I coloured with pencils. The postcard shows a watercolor painting (the market place in Middelburg) from Maurits Schoenmaker – a regional artist.

My mum send the card to congratulate us with ‘one year living in the city centre’ – yes, we moved to this apartment a year ago, time flies.

I wish you a sunny, happy, yellow and green weekend!

    I love this golden morning that you have shared with us, Marit! It is another grey and wet morning here, so this sunshine and your haiku are most welcome. I recognize the market in Middleburg in your wonderful journal. I love seeing your pages come to life! Thank you!

    Your Haiku is very visual Marit and your artwork lovely.
    Our long hot summer is nearly over and we are enjoying the cool Autumn days now.
    All the best my friend.
