Pinch Me
Tandem sheep amble pasture hill,
horses graze, and donkey eyes me
as potential threat.
horses graze, and donkey eyes me
as potential threat.
The setting sun slides over this gang
as I, only one out of breath,
introduce myself.
Winding road, well worn barns,
crisp fresh air, the promise
of a bright star-lit night...
All this without ruby slippers.

This is for "Imaginary Garden with Real Toads - Flash Fiction 55" This past week I helped move my husband to our rental cottage in the NC mountains snuggled near the Blue Ridge Parkway. We will join him once the kids are finished with their school year. Looking forward to calling this area home. Until then, we will be making a lot of road trips.

To be with domestic animals is such a privilege. The experience is overwhelming.Needs pinching oneself to realize it is true.

and without houses falling on you! :) ~
And still not Kansas... Sounds like a nice place to be... Many years ago I spent some months in Oak Ridge TN, and going to the mountains in the weekends has left many memories.
Great last line. Thanks for participating.
How lovely, and the last line delights!
Living in the NW, in the foothills of the Cascades, within the Ring of Fire volcano peaks, your piece really resonates with me. Shake off the urban blight as often as possible. Clean air & Nature's advances cannot be overrated.
Nice... best wishes for this transition time, Margaret.
Looks and sounds delightful.
You have arrived!
Ha! Love that close. What gorgeous countryside! Hope all goes well on your transition and with all those road trips, too.
It's beautiful in OZ. I need to get out in the countryside.
We need to see what's around us and feel thanks that we have it in our lives.
