Every day visits*
From Moose, Goose, and Orb Weaver
All seized by Haiku

"Why moose and goose?" you may ask. Back on 2/04/13 Pirate wrote a haiku with an elk in it, and I responded with
one with a moose and then included him every day. A few days later in comments Mystic asked "Where's the goose?"
So I started including her with this post on 2/07. A week later on the 14th, Mark Readfern
asked for and received a spider. The rest is history.

*Well, most days, anyway. Grant me a bit of poetic license.

Carpe Diem #194, Strength (VIII) Tarot

We had a fine day.  Took my mom, my sister, and my lovely wife to lunch.  It's 150 mile round trip to see my mom.  Later, we had dinner at my step-son's house, and got to spend some time with three of our granddaughters.  It was all good, but I'm tired, and moose, goose and spider get a day off.  [To be completely honest, I don't know how to work them into today's prompt.]   Now, down to the little bit of business I can handle tonight.

    It's okay to give your fine friends the day off. More important to spend time with your mom. Nice haiku.

    Deep thoughts today. Sounds like a lovely albeit tiring day of family. Grandbabies are awesome!

    Poet spends the day
    with a gaggle of women
    too pooped to write
    :)
