Love In Three Photos

Rate: 13 Flag

 

Slate.com had a little Valentine's Day thing where they asked readers to submit "picture haiku" love stories told with three pictures and a few words. I didn't submit anything to Slate but thought of OS first and decided to put my little picture haiku out here instead. 

Valentine's Day, it seems, is like the New York football Giants: you either love it or hate it. With regard to February 14th, I was more towards the latter opinion for a long time. But, as does sometimes happen, my opinion changed. Thank you, Angela...Happy Valentine's Day.

 

Baltimore 1

The first time we kissed

In October, '09....wow!

My best fall ever

 

 

wine 1

 Now we mostly meet

On the west coast. We love wine

And the Pacific

 

corn throwing 1

But last November

She was here...we did taste wine

And threw dried corn cobs

You sweet man! I love the Valentine Haikus and of course, the pictures with which I am so familiar...

Each one brings such beautiful memories...including the corn cob rockets. So fun!

I'm grateful that you come to my side of the country so often so we can be together. I miss you when you're not here... Like now.

I love you. ~xoxoxo~
OM ~ The picture haiku idea was such a good one I just had to share a few of our pictures and memories. I love coming out to see you and can't wait for our visit next month.

Throwing the corn cobs was great! A small but special moment from your last visit here :)

I love you too, sweetheart ~xoxoxo~

That perfect fall wasn't just the season--is was what you did for each other.

Happy Valentine's Day to you both! (Bah, humbug on the Gi'nts.)
You're a lucky fella, and I know you know that. It's such a treat to watch your relationship bloom here. One of the things that makes me stick my head in on OS every now and again.

And this post is a marvelous reminder that love should be celebrated EVERY day. :-D
Shiral – Happy V-Day to you, too! Thank you for your happiness and envy ;)

Phellow Philly Phriend – Hello, AHP! Good to see you and back at you and Mrs. P! Agreed, re: The Gi’nts…

Bill S – An honor, sir! I’m happy to see you and so glad you stopped by here and on OM’s post. Yes, I do know I am very lucky…Angela is truly one of a kind and I’m thankful for her every day. Thank you for your words and try to stop in more often. Come to think of it, I should take that advice myself!
