The exercise:

Write something that has to do with: electricity.

I'm having trouble remembering what we did this morning. Oh well.

This afternoon we took a family trip to the beach, because it was hot, hot, hot. Unsurprisingly, especially after seeing how busy yesterday's market was, the beaches were busy, busy, busy. We found a spot eventually though, and the dip in the lake was much appreciated.

Hoping to get our garlic cleaned up and hung up to cure tomorrow morning. Beyond that, I think my plans for the day involve finding time to shave and getting an early start on picking blackberries for Tuesday orders.

Mine:

Sparks.
The first time
We touched
They flew
Like
Lightning bolts
Or
Cupid's arrows...

From
Fingertips they traveled -
Up my arm,
Down my spine -
Leaving behind
A trail
Of tingles
And
Singes.

Now
Though?
The electricity
Doesn't flow
Like it did
So long ago.
I suppose
Our batteries
Need replacing...
Or are
Our hearts
Just
Dead?
