Today, it felt hot for a spring day. A tequila sunrise that makes one long for a few extra cubes of ice to cool the heat of the morning sun. The weather report said there was a chance of rain showers later in the day. I searched the fiery sky for a sign of refreshing water, a needed relief for a parched land. Sadly, no rain came only, a few passing clouds making their way to another destination.
Sitting on the deck, enjoying some ripe strawberries with whipped cream I watched the last slice of the setting sun. I reflected on how quickly the canvas shifts. An early moon is just a piece of change in the softening sky, as day turns to evening. Tonight, I will dream of softening hearts under a serene orb of light.

Author's note: I did get to see the Strawberry Moon over the weekend. It was magnificent.
Very well done. Love your story.

DeleteHot days have their reward. As the night comes and the day cools off. Nice sequence story.

ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYour piece gave me welcome warmth on a very chilly morning here I North Norfolk, Truedessa. We are still waiting for the sun. You also made me long for strawberries and cream!
ReplyDeleteIt is spring here so the weather changes. Last week it was in the 90’s this week a noticeably 20 degrees cooler.
DeleteA lovely response. Strawberries and whipped cream under the strawberry moon. That's a serene and delicious moment!
ReplyDeleteThe strawberries have been delicious. They aren't growing here yet. Shipped up from the south.
DeleteNothing like some cool strawberries. Although we have not been that hot yet.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy strawberries in whipped cream. Yum… It is much cooler today and rain is on its way! Yay for the parched grass and plants.
DeleteNow I have a hankering for strawberries! Darn you, Truedessa! (heheheheh!)

Thanks Hank! Always wonderful to have you here.
DeleteGreat handling of the prompt. Prompts are always a challenge for me ... my muse doesn't like being told what to write. :-) The title of your blog ties in with the latest WIP in which an orphan is tugged in skips and jumps against his will. Best of luck with your future prompts.
ReplyDeleteAnd just maybe tomorrow will bring that much needed rain.
ReplyDeleteI wish it would rain all the wildfire smoke from Canada is hovering here. There is an air quality alert.
