Porch Leaf Tag

The front door was cracked open for the afternoon breeze, and outside was calling! I waddled past the entryway mat and popped right onto the sun-warmed porch boards. Just then, a giant crunchy yellow leaf came skittering across the deck like a runaway sail! Game on! I leaned forward into a charging waddle, tilting my bun to block its route. Whoosh! A tiny gust whipped across the railing, sending the leaf into a wild flip that landed smack on my toothpick stalk! It wedged itself right against my olive topper like a jaunty umbrella. I paused mid-hop, rolled my big round eyes upward, and claimed instant victory!
