| icicles from my roof  My Buddha under cover  cypresse trees in heavy snow  the way up to my mailbox  treetops  avalanches forming on the large roof  half of the roof snow is now DOWN ! Blocking our back yard - yajiri 屋尻  jifubuki, snow blowing UP by strong storm   shovelling snow the whole day ... no time for haiku |

Snowed In ... ALBUM
Monday Morning, 25
Still all white around, minus four in the morning ... and more snowmen in the weather forecast!

The back of a farmhouse is often called
yajiri 屋尻 "bottom side of a house"
In mountainous regions this part can be very narrow and dangerous for mudslides.
In winter, snowslides from the slopes and the roof are a problem.
はつ雪の降り捨てある家尻哉
hatsu furi no sutete aru yajiri kana
a dumping ground
for the first snow...
my backyard
Kobayashi Issa
(Tr. David Lanoue)
If you do not get rid fast enough of the snow from the roof, it might break the beams that support the house.
And behind the house, where no sunshine reaches until next spring, it will pile up like a glacier . . .
