Sensational Haiku Wednesday
Welcome to “Sensational Haiku Wednesday!”
Click here for info and background on this weekly event!
The basics:
Haiku is simple! It is 3 non-rhyming lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively (a great way to use your fingers!)
This week’s theme is: Contemplation
The way things are now
Perhaps not how I’d prefer
But probably best.
Next week’s theme: Chocolate
Note: Nothing makes me happier than to see new people getting “hooked on haiku”! Keep it going to make it to the Hooked on Haiku List
To participate in this week’s event, please use the following code in your post on your own blog (if you don’t have a blog, post your Haiku as a comment):

First, happy 4th of July to my American friends! Hope you have a great day!
J-B is traveling Ireland and Scotland for the entire month, and Main Street is on hiatus for a few weeks. Probably a good thing for us to take a break and have a chance to miss each other, right? Well, we are getting together for dinner with assorted spouses next week, and we did have a great Canada Day celebration at Walt’s place last week… but it’s not the same when we’re not singing!
For the next few weeks ShaMoo is planning on lots of face time with her 3 kids, Knarf and Zack will be making tracks and exploring as usual, and Walt will never be without a golf club in hand.
I’m taking a working vacation and leaving for the east coast on the 17th, but I will have my laptop with me, so I won’t be totally “gone”. We’ll be visiting the hubby’s dysfunctional family for a few days – don’t even get me started – and exploring parts of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Quebec that I’ve never seen before over the course of 2 weeks. It will be nice to get away. The teen was unable to go to training camp this year (there were not enough spots for her advanced training level, unfortunately) so she’ll be with us – YAY!
Wait. Is that a yay? So much teenage attitude, and being in close quarters for 2 weeks… hrm. I’ll let you know how that goes.
We’ll be spending my birthday the 4th anniversary of my 39th birthday on a beach in Nova Scotia, weather permitting, and I’m looking forward to that very much. Wee One has never been to any of the Eastern provinces, so I’m looking forward to sharing her new experiences. She’ll meet relatives she’s never laid eyes on before in New Brunswick – again, don’t get me started – and in at least one case I hope it doesn’t cause any lasting trauma. I’m taking the high road here by not explaining that, believe me.
So that’s the next month, in a nutshell. Amid all of this, I am dealing with blog-apathy, and have been very uninspired to write anything worth reading lately! This too shall pass, I’m sure!
What are you up to this summer?
