Whirligig Flight

I wriggled through the bottom gap of the screen door straight out onto the front porch! Right between the wooden deck boards, I spotted a dry winged maple seed tucked in a groove. I scooped it up, scrambled all the way up to the wide railing, and flung it into the open air with both paws! Whoosh! It caught the breeze and spun around like a miniature helicopter, twirling in dizzy circles before fluttering right into an empty terra-cotta pot sitting on the steps below. Direct bullseye! I hurried down the wooden planks to retrieve my pilot for launch number two.
