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 #211, koromogae (changing or switching clothes)

Today's kigo is koromogae, the seasonal change of wardrobe.  Here in Michigan we know it well.  The big questions are: "When will it happen?" and: "Is it for real?" You never can be too sure about these things, either here or in neighboring Wisconsin..

    Trans-parents is a classic for you! Enjoyed this stroll through changing. Even moose and goose partake.

    Sound a little like Melbourne where you get "4 seasons in one day" as the song goes :)

    I loved both trans-parents and "spider sticks with silk." Nice set, they were quite fun!

    These are all wonderful as always, but I suspect your deepest sentiments about this kigo are expressed in # 3 ! Yes?
