She closed her eyes, letting the heat of the sun fill her face. The smell of freshly cut grass filled the air, and the birds sang happy songs. She loved everything about springtime, especially the cool breeze that was common this time of season.
“The sky is as blue as a sapphire, Lisa.” Mike said, walking outside to join her.
The screen door slammed shut behind him.
“I smell cookies.” She said.
“Good nose. I brought you one.”
Sade growled. “You sure about that?”
“Fine. Take all three.”
She laughed and patted her dog Sade, the greatest seeing-eye dog ever.

Okay, so I’m a finalist in this week’s Caption Contest hosted by Paul, aka The Good Greatsby. Voting ends on the 18th (that’s tomorrow for some, and today for others). If you have time, I’d appreciate you popping over to the post and voting for my caption. (Clicking here takes you there.) Conveniently enough, my entry is the first one listed. I’m up against fellow bloggers, so even if I don’t get the prize, I’m honored to be nominated along side bloggers I enjoy.
Cute story, Lenore. Aaand I popped over to the Caption Contest to give you my vote.
Blessings – Maxi
Lenore you made this concept of “drabble” famous. 🙂 Nicely done once again.
Thanks, Arindam, but I was influenced by Steve Betz. He made it famous.
Oh…Congratulations…I will be right over. Daughter #2 is here and SIL…maybe I can get them to vote too…as we drink coffee around the table this kitchen morning.
Thank you, thank you, Georgette! I appreciate the vote(s).
Surprise ending! I didn’t see that coming…no pun intended. Off to check out the caption thingy.
Ha! Funny pun, intended or not. Thanks for checking out the caption thingy.
Wow, Lenore, there was a curve ball! Talk about being jerked out of perceptions! 😀 I voted for you!
Thanks for voting for me, Amy!!
I’m glad this post threw you for a loop. My work is done. 🙂 Thanks for reading.
Good girl, Sade! Very good and heartwarming. That made me smile.
Who can resist a good dog story, eh? Glad it brought a smile to your face, Steve. Thanks for introducing me to the world of drabbles.
You know I love Darla, but I had to go with you on this one! ♥
It feels odd – competing amongst friends. Thanks for the vote, Deb. I appreciate it. ❤
Voted! Cookies are a popular theme lately–Girl Scout cookies?
Thank you for your vote, Patti. Sadly, we aren’t in any Girl Scout loops, so we don’t get the goodies. (My waistline is grateful for being out of that loop!)
I came for the cookies. I stayed for the drabble, which was very enjoyable. I have been meaning to come by for some time and I hope to be back more regularly. 🙂
Welcome, Hippie! Pardon me for being silly, but I am a bit giddy that you stopped by and left a note. I am glad you enjoyed the drabble. I’ll make sure there are more cookies next time. Thank you.
Hi,
A great short story, well done. 😀
Sorry I’m a bit late for the vote. 😦
No worries, Mags. I appreciate your visit. Thank you!
How do you do that? Write such a great story with such a twist, in just 100 words? I am amazed.
Thank you. I was inspired by Steve Betz – he is the best. It challenges me every week, thinking of a 100-word story. I am glad you liked this one.
