Wind blows strong today.

We won’t be walking, no way.

Wind, wind go away.

💨💨💨💨

Till next time,

Calvin

[Author's note: Every day starts with a walk along the beach with my two best buddies - Ella and Gi Gi. Not this morning though, 90km winds gusts put an end to that. I didn't have any lead boots to keep them grounded. Difficult to say no to those two cute faces though. ]

    A cute haiku for an adorable pair! Definitely understandable decision… 90km/ hour winds along a beach & little legs!😵‍💫

    Lovely haiku. Sure they were disappointed but they would have not like to fly like kites in the wind.
