So Long Betty White & 2021

So long Betty White. 
Thank you for the love, the light,
the joy and the laughter 
that will last ever after.

I was just going to pop in here to wish you a very happy, healthy and wealthy 2022 and to post my final blog for 2021 then I heard on the news that Betty White, one of my favourite comedians had died. I resolved that the first star I saw tonight I would dedicate to Betty and all the laughter and caring she’s generated and demonstrated over the years. But then, as the sun was setting the street light across the street winked on and that seemed more fitting for such a bright light as Betty who died only a couple of weeks shy of her 100th birthday. I loved her in all her shows, in all her characters and in her shining example of love for our four-legged friends. Perhaps not just four-legged. It was perhaps also very fitting that I found out about her death on the radio as I filling the bird feeders.

I’m off to work soon—hopefully for a couple of quiet midnight shifts. Here is the 1st haiku of December 2021 and the last few. I did it! 365 days of haiku and pictures. Never missed a day. Planning to do it all over again for 2022. You may have to match the haiku to the picture yourself. There isn’t one for the 1st December, only the haiku. That should help. Also I didn't include the squirrels at the feeder picture. That should also help! 

Wishing you all the very best with much love and many thanks for your support and love throughout the past years. Shine bright, lovelies!
