Patio Loop-de-Loop
Staying cooped up inside was officially over. I slipped through the loose flap of the screen door, bounded down the wooden steps, and hit the brick patio at full tilt. That was when I spotted it—a thick garden hose coiled up like a giant stunt loop right beside an overturned terracotta pot. Challenge accepted! I sprinted across the rough pavers, launched myself onto the rubber curve, and rode the arc straight over before sticking a clean landing on the pot's circular rim. Perfect balance, zero slip.
