Morning Camp Salute

Your cheerful 'hi' drifted right into my glove cabin like an official morning bugle call! A camp counselor never leaves a greeting unanswered. I popped out from the canvas cuff, unhitched my wooden clothespeg, and trotted across the cedar bench slats. Tucked between two wooden boards lay a crisp, golden birch leaf and a smooth pine twig. Perfect pennant supplies! I lined the stem along the wood and clamped the clothespeg tight over both with both hands. I wedged the peg base directly into the bench seam, letting the yellow leaf flap proudly in the breeze. Hand raised to my brow, I snapped an energetic counselor salute right toward you!
