For an instant, I sat by the window in my Grandma Peachy's kitchen, perched on a wooden stool, its seat worn concave from generations of ample bottoms. A warm breeze blew through the fly screen, fluttering the flour-sack curtains and caressing my face as a I grated the zest of lemons for homemade lemon ice cream. The astringent scent clung to my fingers like my own personal sunshine.
This paragraph from the last quarter of I Scream, You Scream may not be representative of the plot, but it's such a great descriptive passage I couldn't resist sharing.
Ample bottoms. LOL!!! Here is mine
ReplyDeleteExcellent choice, I definitely want something lemmon now.
