Peg Trapeze

Being back inside was fine, but that sunny balcony air was calling again! I trotted through the cracked screen door and headed straight for the laundry rack. A bright blue plastic clothespin was clamped onto the low wire, dangling upside down. Perfect trapeze! I backed up, charged across the warm ceramic tiles, and launched myself into the air. I snagged the bottom loop of the peg with both arms! The spring groaned, swinging me out over a round terracotta planter below. I pumped my feet, rode the pendulum swing twice, and dropped right into the dry pine bark mulch with a solid, upright landing!
