Balcony Expedition

I wriggled through the narrow gap of the sliding screen door until I popped right out onto the sun-warmed cedar balcony! The air smelled delightfully crisp, completely different from the living room rug. Right beside a giant terracotta flowerpot, I discovered a perfectly smooth, milky-white garden pebble. I leaned my front against its cool rounded edge and gave it an enthusiastic push. It rolled gracefully down the groove between two cedar planks, knocking gently into a dried clover leaf. Exploring the great outdoors makes me feel just like Applejack working in the orchards!
