Friday 55 Flash Fiction is brought to you by G-man (Mr Knowitall). The idea is you write a story in exactly 55 words. If you want to take part pop over and let G-man know when you've posted your 55.
Here is mine for this week!
The door was open and they peered into the darkness, alone.
Transfixed by what lay before them they remained silent and still,
still as statues.
One of them would have to go in first –
to lead the way –
to show no fear.
They did not move.
“You first” said Eva!
and they entered mummy’s shed!
One of my garden projects is to reclaim my garden shed. It has been home to the geese for 19 years and now the geese are gone I have cleared it out, ready for turning it into my own little potting shed. I put some shelving into it, as you can see but it just doesn’t look right – the shelving belongs back in the greenhouse. When we demolished the old garden shed we had a good supply of wood which I am going to recycle into shelving and work benches – should be fun!
I have been working on our grass verge today:-
It is quite an intensive job as it is about 120’ in length!
It is made up of vatious established plants.
I even found some brambles – which I wont be digging out!
This was so lovely – again I could not pull it out!
Any gardening tasks though back breaking are rewarding and I know a hot bath will be just what I need after a busy day!
LOL cheeky chickens! Smashing 55 Mrs D.
ReplyDeleteThat little shed looks like a perfect hidey hole for a busy woman Denise - Get the emulsion paint out and curtains at the window.
ReplyDeleteI am sure there are some brambles at the bottom of my garden too. That last flower looks just perfect :-)
ReplyDeleteOmigosh, Denise, you make me laugh ...
ReplyDelete... right out loud...!
Your 55 is so cute! Adore it! And especially love the last photo of that magnificent flower!
ReplyDeletethat sure was a neat 55er!
ReplyDeleteWell, those chickens certainly weren't chicken :-)
ReplyDeletesmiles. fun 55...who you calling chicken?
ReplyDeleteChickens, hurrah, Gardening, horrors of horrors! my garden! Just a fun 55 today!
ReplyDeleteLooks like your garden shed may have some new tenants!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my 55 homage to Glastonbury Abbey. It was the whole Avalon myth (?) that captured my fancy there. There are still so many people who are somewhat invested in that, as well as all the books and movies on the subject, so it was fascinating to be there.
Enjoyable 55 words. ;) It has been so hot here, I don't think I could tackle that garden project. Looks like lots of sweat to me. Love the last flower. A real beauty.
ReplyDeleteYour Flash 55 set me giggling - well done!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have your work cut out with your hedge. I know you can tell the age of a hedge by the number of different trees in it but I can't remember the algorithm - is it 10 years per tree or 100 or some other number? (Full of useless, unfinished information, I am ;-})
How are Bev and Mabel progressing? Are china eggs for broody hens not used any more? Too heartless, maybe.
Ours have just started laying again after a three weeks or so off, they lay according to how much light there is so after the summer solstice they naturally wind down a bit...hmmm, I feel like that now nd we're only halfway through harvest! A good tale, Mrs. N, you should write a book!
ReplyDeleteLv MrsGH.
