Happy March! We just got back from some long distance travels and I got everything unpacked today and quite a bit of the laundry done and also soaked and heeled in some bare root roses that arrived while we were gone. It feels like everything is going crazy here, there's just starting to be green everywhere. I was running round in the dark when we arrived home last night checking what had leafed out. 😅 Does it feel like spring where you are?
And I was so happy to see your entries last month. As always, feel free to join anytime here until the next prompt goes up! 💜

March's prompt is:
A scene with strangers meeting / becoming acquainted
I'm in the middle of Elisabeth Grace Foley's A Sidekick's Tale and it's hilarious. I was reading it on the plane yesterday and giggled out loud over this bit so thought it'd be perfect to share:
"And of course one thing led to another, as they always do, and before you knew it Lem and I had got started on a good old-fashioned do-you-remember session. Every once in a while when cousins foregather they drag out of mothballs all the memorable moments in the family history clocked in during their lifetime, and a few winners that've been passed on to them second-hand, and give them a good airing. Well, that was what we did, and Chance sat still as a mouse and listened with a kind of scared look on his face. I don't know if you've ever noticed it, but while the behavior of your family seems perfectly normal to you, it comes across as pretty half-baked to an outsider...
"But then again, the crazier a thing sounds the more people want to hear about it. Eventually Chance got interested in spite of himself and began to loosen up a little bit. He even laughed in the right places. I think he'd been rather afraid of my cousins at first, even though they were mainly harmless except when things went off by accident..."
Definitely enjoying the tale and looking forward to what happens next. xD

I'd love to hear your thoughts and look forward to further confabulation. Please just be courteous to one and all. Oh, and I love thoughts on old posts, so comment away!
(Also of late -- what with time being finite, and Life Happening + managing multiple blogs and computer issues and all that -- I sometimes have to alternate between creating new content and replying to comments, but rest assured I'm thrilled to hear from each and every one of you and always hope to reply thoughtfully in full ASAP. <3)
