Garden Patrol Launch

Being stuck inside all yesterday was getting old, so the minute the back sliding door cracked open, I slipped outside! The patio was wide open territory. Right by the wooden step, I spotted a giant blue plastic clothespin clamped onto a drying towel. You know me—I had to test its spring power! I grabbed the upper peg and shoved down with all my weight. The hinge gave way with a snappy *clack*, flicking the tail end up and catapulting me right onto a warm terracotta plant pot! Stuck the landing with a spin. First outdoor mission? A total win.
