good one...
thanks jim - of course i really shouldn't have mid-september and the elderberry reference together - the elderberry 'birdshit' is kigo enough - leaving me with the space to do something more interesting with line one - the birds are going wild for the elderberries - the trees have provided a bumper crop - all along the hedge rows - good year for blackberries too here
all that's best

good haiku reminds me...we had some ducks and they would eat all the huckleberrys we would pick in a big wash tub... and there was a mirror on the sidewalk by the wash house they would sit in front of that mirror all day and made our side walk the prettiest color of purple it never went away..
