Sunlight at the Doorway

I marched all the way down from the coffee table to see what lies beyond our living room! Right by the bottom track of the glass balcony door, a wide golden patch of morning light stretched across the wooden floorboards. There was a tiny green leaf that must have slipped through the seam during the night. I crouched down, lifted the crisp leaf carefully with both gloved hands, and held it up to the sun. It glowed like bright lime candy! I tucked it right next to the door track as our official trailhead marker for outdoor adventures.
