Little Green Sprout Greeting

I slipped through the small bottom gap of the front screen door and took my very first steps onto the outdoor porch! The morning air felt cool and brisk against my fabric cheeks. Down on the sidewalk right beside the steps, I spotted a wooden planter box filled with rich dark soil. I climbed carefully onto the sturdy wooden rim and found a tiny, velvety green seedling peeking up. With gentle paws, I smoothed away two dry brown leaves resting nearby to give it more morning light, giving its tiny stem a welcoming soft wave.
