The exercise:

Write about something that is: vacant.

Tomorrow is Canada Day and we have plans to catch the parade in town in the morning. We also have two young boys, so we'll see if any of our plans actually work out.

Another busy bakery morning. When I left at 12:30 we were completely sold out of all the bread loaves, cinnamon buns, croissants, focaccia, ciabatta loaves and buns, and were down to one bagel, one butter tart, and a handful of coffee cake slices.

So yeah, they were pretty much closing up and getting ready for tomorrow's craziness as I was leaving. Feeling very glad to not be working there either of the next two days.

This afternoon we spent some time at the beach with the boys, which was very nice. A dip in the lake is a great way to cool off when the heat hits like this.

Mine:

People lived here,
Once.
A long time ago,
Or was it just
Yesterday?
Hard to say.
Time is funny that way...

Children laughed here...
Shh!
If you listen
With all of your being
You just might here them
Now.
I don't know how.
Maybe they echo in the walls,
Somehow.

Now this is a spider
House.
Here resides a moth,
A cockroach,
A mouse.
And,
What's more,
The ghosts of all those
Who lived here
Before.
