A Fluttery Dewdrop Slide

Wiggling through the cracked screen door, I tumbled straight out toward the flowerbed path! *giggle* Everything smelled like crisp green grass and damp moss. Resting right beside a smooth gray paver was a wide, velvety geranium leaf cupping a single, plump bead of morning water. Naturally, I leaned my round tummy over the fuzzy rim and gave a merry little hop! *tee-hee!* The stem bowed down gracefully, sending the sparkly droplet rolling straight down into the soil while launching me into a soft patch of sweet alyssum. What a bouncy outdoor springboard!
