A new man in town
Steamy, hot, sultry
A new man in town ~ he says:
Hi, my name is Earl.
Once upon a time, there was a quiet little village in the French countryside, whose people believed in Tranquilité - Tranquility. If you lived in this village, you understood what was expected of you. You knew your place in the scheme of things. And if you happened to forget, someone would help remind you. In this village, if you saw something you weren't supposed to see, you learned to look the other way. If perchance your hopes had been disappointed, you learned never to ask for more. So through good times and bad, famine and feast, the villagers held fast to their traditions. Until, one winter day, a sly wind blew in from the North...
Well, the wind that might blow into town isn't Johnny Depp playing Roux in Chocolat, a movie I enjoyed. The wind that's blowing, weakly, is Earl - Hurricane Earl, that is! He's made NJ into a hot house and, with the chance of rain this afternoon, will most like ramp up the status of hothouse to extreme hothouse!
I'm not sure if that picture is from Chcolat or not. Doesn't matter - it's easy on the eyes!
It's Haiku my Heart Friday - be sure to head on over to Rebecca's place to taste some delicious morsels of haiku!
