Vineria's Crisp Floral Fanfare
I scrambled up the woven sofa throw and landed right before an open sketchpad on the coffee table! Lying across the textured paper was an emerald green watercolor pencil with a tiny, curling wood shaving still clinging to its tip. Naturally, I couldn't resist. Gripping the hexagonal pencil like a grand conductor's baton, I rolled it firmly across the sheet with both palms, watching it leave a sharp, cheerful green trail. Dropping down into a theatrical curtsy, I patted the freshly drawn spiral and beamed!
