Since English is a polysyllabic language, I contend you shouldn’t call a haiku written in English a haiku. It all started when Spunk Kitty wrote a Spunku.
Brilliant. For a few years after we came here no-one could find our door, or house either. we’d be signalling out a window to pizza delivery folks who walking up and down the street looking frantically. It was great after years of our door of our last house going constantly cos I ran a music and drama biz. But now we have our own driveway and parking so……
It’s nice having all the foilage cover up the architecture. However, it really confuses delivery people. I have almost everything delivered to the office or the post office these days. Otherwise, it ends up being a treasure hunt trying to find where the drivers leave the packages. I have a delivery box in plain sight with “Deliveries” on it. But apparently, delivery drivers can’t read English since most of them would walk right by the delivery box and leave packages in the east forty for me to find.
I don;t think people do read. Our problem is that we have the upper bit of an old house. Our gardem and door is round the back Originally, the gate was mutual with downstairs. The path was too. You said to folk, you gave instructions, where we were, it clearly said 11 and 11A on the gate. I’d get sent emails from Amazon and all going your delivery is in a shed and here’;s the pic. It wasn’t our shed. Once or twice it wasn’t number 11’s shed either. There was the time books were put in the letterbox of number 11 and like that the woman was in Australia for 6 months. Anyway a new owner came in downstairs and so w did a legal land swap re the path and we both put in carbays and w have a separate fenced off entrance. Again it is quite makred but still we see folks wandering about looking for us. It is prob not helped by the fact that next door on the other side is a completely hidden cottage but there is a driveway there. That cottage also has another driveway that leads into anothe street all together. It has two addresses actually cos of that, Crazy here.
I wonder how many delivery men are lost out there: lost in the fab TimKu of your flowers, learning to survive, building new lives and colonies, being attacked by vicious groundhogs?
You must drive your Amazon and UPS drivers crazy, although I do commend the privacy aspect. We are lucky in that we are on good terms with most of our delivery companies who know where we live (we are hidden from the road) and know to put our packages on the porch out of the rain.
These photographs are so brilliant Tim it looks like you live in a place like I have never seen before. Just staggering beauty. The flowers on the way to your house are splendid by the way. We are struggling to get anything to grow in the clay here if it is not in the shade because of the heat. It will take a while. I am not complaining though. The deer hang out in the yard and the birds are all over the place. I think it takes a while of enticing the critters with food and love before they feel safe hanging out, there were no birds in the yard when we first moved here and now we have all kinds. So grateful for nature and the sounds, views and joy I get from watching. Thanks Tim hope all is well with you guys. Big hugs, Joni

great photos: love the jokey haiku 🙂
Thanks, John. I call it a Timku.
hahahahahha; I’ll pay that: that is brilliant 🙂

oh, I love that 🙂
guess it can be a good thing to disguise the front door sometimes. Very paintery post.
It’s a bit of a problem when delivery drivers can’t see the house for the foliage. Thanks, Couriers.
Looks like you live in a secret garden! Love it!
True. We have a Secret Garden on the property. Thanks, Nancy.

The joys and troubles of being hidden away.
Oh yes… And how.
Some really beautiful images here….the first being exceptional. Have a great weekend.
You too. Thanks, Janet.
Ah, mr.Painter and I love the sunrise on the wall.
Better a hidden door than unwanted visitors!
True. Thanks, Marina.
I love your overabundant flowers!
Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Oh Tim, you have opened the door to the heavens!!! Splendid.
Thanks, Rebecca.
haha where.. knocking on heavens door! We made it❣️
I would suppose Heaven’s door is harder to find. Thanks, Cindy.
That was a very beautiful day there, start to finish! That sunrise image is fascinating.
Thanks, Lavinia.
Oh wow, Tim. The first shot, the clouds and sun form a sort of rainbow arc.
That second shot is all about art.
The Timku and photo are fabulous. Very dreamy and mysterious.
Thanks, Dale. I’m happy you like the clouds and the Timku.
Very much so!
Hahaha!

Hahaha! You have to wonder. I think the gophers simply eat the lost delivery drivers. Thanks, Resa.
No wonder your gophers are so strong and bossy!
They are high up on dopy delivery drivers.
Well hidden front door! Great shots Tim …
Thnks, Julie.

There is a delivery box right in front of their vehicle, and they can’t seem to see it. Thanks, Brian.

If you grew anything, the deer would eat it. But you can watch them and the birds. Thanks, Joni.
