Acorn in the Grass

I pushed past the kitchen screen door and hurried out into the sunny backyard lawn! The tall blades of grass brushed ticklish paths against my sides. Near the mossy wooden fence, I spotted a plump, glossy brown acorn tucked beneath a clover patch. It had the neatest textured cap on top, looking just like a tiny festive beret! I wrapped both plush paws around its smooth curve and rolled it free, chuckling softly as it left a neat, pressed trail in the soft green turf. I nudged it right beside a fence post where it shines like a polished garden jewel.
