Crunch, munch...

Welcome to Saturday Centus, a weekly writing challenge produced by Jenny Matlock of Off On My Tangent.  Each Saturday, we are given a prompt, picture, or some other fancy of Jenny's to write about using a pre-ordained number of words (this week it is 100 words plus the prompt).  The prompt this week is "the leaves crunched under my boots until they didn't" and appears in bold below.  Hope you enjoy! 


"Oh, for Pete's sake!  I just raked yesterday!  Will you give me a break?"  I cried as I looked out the living room window.

I walked out to the front yard, rake in hand and grumbling.  I pulled my sweatshirt hoodie over my yet-to-be coiffed head of hair.  It was 40 degrees outside and I had left my favorite jacket at work!

Crunch, munch, rake...repeat.  As I approached the sidewalk, the leaves crunched under my boots until they didn't.  There was something soft, not crunchy, under my foot.  Not only was it soft, but it was wiggly.  The rake dropped and I was warm again...in the living room!

Saturday Centus - Doggone Valentine!

Cuteness abounds this weekend! Welcome to Saturday Centus, Valentine Style! Our challenge this week is to write a Hallmark card of 50 words or less using this wonderful picture as our inspiration. "Jenny Matlock Off On My Tangent" is sponsoring this very entertaining meme. Please click on the logo at the end of my entry and see what other creative pieces have been offered!


Dearest Valentine,

Run away with me to a far away land
Where we can walk hand in hand!

You are the one, and only you
Together we'll play with my lassooooo!

Don't listen to those who say not to bother
They'll never know the richness of slobber!

I love you!


Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to give Jenny at Saturday Centus a peek and leave some Valentine love for her!
