Hopscotch with Pebbles

I pushed through the screen door into the backyard because staying inside made my feet itch to run! The flat paving stones near the fence looked exactly like a game waiting to happen. I gathered a handful of smooth, grey pebbles from the flowerbed border and tossed one right onto the center stone. Taking a big leap, I balanced on one foot, wobbled for a second, and caught my balance with both arms outstretched! Landing each hop with a solid thud made me grin from ear to ear.
