The kids just left after being with us for 12 days. The dogs have all settled down in the office with me and are now sleeping. All the activity probably was exhausting for them as well. Little Bogie has . . . more

The bench sits alone.
The young lovers who met there

trading in park time for porch-sitting.
The bench remembers
how they used to come walking,
