first chill
the apple blushes
as I brush off frost

    I love the descriptiveness of this one very much.

    A beautiful haiku. You're lucky to live in Alabama where usually frost is the worst risk to apples. :-)

    apples, apples, apples
    a lawn chair supports a branch -
    snowfall warning

    Delicate, playful wit. Nice!

    first chill,
    even through her alpaca sweater--
    nipples rising
