Linking up with Write at the Merge this week. A 55-word story inspired by the words "a snow fall" and "a secret revealed". Our household is anxiously awaiting Spring to come out of hiding!

Scavenger Hunt
Snow glitters in the blinding azure sky, flurrying and fluttering. Curiously, there is not a cloud to be seen. Four year old Lizzy clumps to the backyard. Her mudruckers are on the wrong feet. She stomps through bronze grass, searching. Lizzy peers under silver leaves. What's hiding under there?
Crocus peek out.
"Look, Mommy! Spring!"

My pink impatiens in my kitchen window are blooming- three blossoms! Makes me feel like spring... we are ready here too!
ReplyDeleteOur geranium that we wintered in our bedroom is almost up to the ceiling - reaching for sunshine and longing to go outside!
DeleteAwwww...she found spring! I'd like to find spring right about now, myself. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYes ... we should have some signs of spring soon. But first this morning's snow has to melt. Hopefully this moisture will lead to a dazzling garden!
DeleteI could imagine the feeling! I love finding the first sign of spring after so much grey and sleets of snow.
ReplyDeleteI had hoped to share Lizzy's 4-year old intensity. They are a focused bunch! Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
ReplyDeleteWe were about to see spring here, it was coming early and now they are covered in snow.
ReplyDeleteYep -- I wrote this yesterday as the ground was covered in fresh snow. I guess it's a hopeful piece! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI love that Lizzy's shoes are on the wrong feet-and I love how focused she was on things that really matter- like finding spring:)
ReplyDeleteWonderful little piece of writing!
Thank you ... those little people are wonderfully stubborn sometimes! And their littleness often helps us big people remember the important stuff.
DeleteI'm going to start looking for crocus! They should be out any minute now.
ReplyDeleteWe have a few new buds on the trees in the neighborhood ... little fortellings of Springs arrival! Thanks for visiting and commenting.
DeleteHidden crocuses are the best kind of secret; that first one is so exciting! Lovely little scene.
ReplyDeleteIt's the first promise that the long winter is going to finally end. Spring's secret workings in the soil revealed! Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

DeleteSpring has sprung, spectacularly! Well done. You made me smile.
ReplyDeleteThank you ... I appreciate your encouraging words. So glad you left with a smile!
DeleteBeautiful! It's amazing to read such a short piece and really feel the freshness and new life of spring. I love the detail of the shoes on the wrong feet. ;) Cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you ... I had hoped to convey that promise of spring, that wondrous mystery even more astonishing to the young. And the shoes were a detail I preserved after a lot of carving and cutting - glad you enjoyed it!
