D for ABC Wednesday

Dinghy Duck

She circled wide, then hopped aboard with a waggle and dance. Some time later, she flew away. Within half an hour, she returned to us like a homing pigeon and jumped on the swimmers' platform where she continued to ride and dive and ride. Fishing was a disaster for that day.

Do you know ducks who would rather ride than fly or swim?

The Door for Magpie Tales #77

Tess Kincaid of Magpie Tales offers this visual prompt for writers.

Summer Evening, Edward Hopper, 1947

the future leaned

against a half wall of faultless

the locked door

hid what they didn't want to know

bathed in light

wrapped in dreamy visions

the locked door

hid what they'd come to know

sunset fell and morning rose

moths fluttered round the bulb

the locked door yawned

released a puff of careless thoughts

sent the future

reeling, undone and splintered

like the clapboard half wall

where dreams declined to nest

C for ABC Wednesday

A coinkydink of color

A daughter gathered a dozen small geranium plants (red being the color of choice) for her planter boxes. One plant contained a secret which it hid until first bloom. In a coinkydink, this white geranium had been planted exactly in the center of the reds.

I don't know about  you, but I had never seen a white geranium. We still wonder how it turned out to be the pivotal plant. Coinkydink, I guess. Have you had similar coinkydinks?
