A Pinch of Fresh Green

A sharp, cooling scent led me straight to the sunlit kitchen windowsill this morning. Resting inside a tiny clear tumbler was a fresh sprig of green mint standing in shallow water. I waddled right up to the glass, keeping my York peppermint patty tucked securely against my chest, and leaned forward until my beak lightly brushed the crinkled edge of a leaf. A burst of crisp, icy aroma tickled my nose right away. Seeing where minty freshness actually begins in the green world felt like discovering a little sunny secret. This was the song I used on my first ever vid. #Penguins
