Cherry, where art thou, my snow draped cherry?
Oh, that’s right.
Timber!  Down you went while the deck was torn down.
You didn’t go alone.  A hemlock, a fir, a pine tree, three juniper bushes with [...]

The ingredients flew from the cupboards like a strong wind stirring up trouble.   I pulled down the bowls, selected a size and started assembling.
In went flour, baking powder, and salt measured by hand.  From the fridge, out came butter and milk; from the drawer a fork and a spoon.

The wind is gentle in the trees beyond my back fence.
The long grass that didn’t get whacked by Girl bends and waves.  It beckons to the dogs.  Expect urps later?
