This is my take on the lake and the sandbars that we saw yesterday, after comparisons with last year it is quite upsetting.
Today I have been sewing and watching a bit of football and wandering around the garden in between showers.
Today's Haiku, just because I like it is by Onitsura and reminds me of my dear friend Yoshiko who has many kimonos that she uses in tea ceremony, the last I heard she was not quite a tea ceremony master but she had many lovely and very valuable kimonos. Oh and we are both married, not sure about lovers.
Even I who have
no lover...
I love this time
of new Kimonos

What a good entry, both the drawing and the text with the lovely haiku that made you think of your friend Yoshiko. I cant resist to give you another haiku, this one by Hisajo Sugita (1890-1946).
Toujours obstinee
comme une femme...
Kimono déte ble fonce
Loosely translated as "always stubborn like a woman...in her dark blue kimono".
I am writing to you at this very early morning dressed in my blue summer kimono too.
I hope you are feeling better and enjoying your day.
I was wondering how you were feeling after yesterdays jaunt. I'm enjoying your paintings....and the daily haiku. This one I read the other day has nothing to do with kimonos but I'll share it anyway.
Fui! A sour plum...
Thin eyebrows pinched together

Thank you so much for the Haiku from both of you, they are lovely and not ones I know.
I too wear a cotton Yukata in summer, a bit cold here in winter but my padded top I was given many moons ago still goes on as a bed top while I read my stuff on the notebook computer in bed these cold mornings.
