…and we're back to our weekly dose of weird, whacky and sometimes wonderful words (from the dag's dictionary)…
Horrorgami – the vain attempt to re-fold a road map back the way it came, especially in high wind or while still driving.
Quizotic – compelled to shout answers towards a TV or radio whenever a quiz show is being broadcast, in the unrealistic belief you'd easily win.
A delightful write! I am forever planning my garden in my head. Now, I just have to get out there and do something!
I am definitely NOT the green-fingered type!
You created a nice scenario for the backyard here Michelle.
Thanks! All the elements above are also dependent on the size of the backyard…
Oh, Michele, this post gave me the gardening bug. Horrorgami is perfect. On my last cross country trip I was forbidden from touching the maps.
Gardening bug? Rather you than me! I killed a cactus once… but that's an entire post on its own…:)
I love the garden theme!
Why must they make maps so hard to fold back up? They could at least put in markers that indicate where you're supposed to start . . .
Thanks G.E. I am not very good with maps… but I'm good at recognising physical landmarks! If I've been to a place once, chances are, I'll find my way back there again. I always look for "memorable yet easy landmarks" – things/objects that mean something to me… and I remember in that way.
That's just lovely. I can picture it all in my head!
Thanks Sherry. Btw, I loved your "600 kernels popping" image! It was priceless… ah, a real "Kodak moment" 🙂
beautiful garden images! nicely done!
Thanks TTT! Loved your picture too!
Lovely landscape to enjoy ~~
Visiting from Sensational Haiku Wednesday:
<a href="http://beccagivens.wordpress.com/2012/05/09/before-our-time/">Before Our Time</a>
I will pop in to check yours out shortly, Becca. 🙂
Nice Haiku's there. And those two words at the end, describe me to a tee. Not so much with maps, but I am guilty of leaving the Sunday paper exactly the way it started out. And no one likes to watch Jeopardy with me, because I always shout out the answers, right or wrong 😉
Ah, Debbie. Thanks for the laughs! 🙂 My hubby also likes to shout out the answers (before anyone else has a chance, then he can say HE was first!) Then I say – but we're not in the competition—– 🙂
Excellent haiku on gardening.
Thanks for visiting, Anthony!
I like your virtual garden.
… and that is what my gardening will remain… a virtual experience… don't want to have another "cactus-killing-moment"… 🙂 (refer to my response to the 3rd commenter above)
Artistic gardens always impress if the expression of creativity and your Haiku captured just that.
It was fun to design this "virtual" garden!
landscapes of perfect symmetry can only be manmade

Unnatural beauty! 🙂
