Wednesday's Words on a Friday

 

The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems.

The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind.

If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words.

Here is my story:

“There you are Naomi, where have you been all afternoon?”

“Didn’t Rebecca tell you? I have been visiting Sister Charlotte in the cloister, we talked so much, she is the most serene human I have ever met.”

“She is the very old Finnish nun isn’t she?” “Yes Mum,” said Naomi, “she was in a sunny spot where the rowan trees are and it has been newly paved with light ivory flagstones, it is so pretty there. She was eating fruit when I arrived and she cut a slice of mango for me to try.”

“That was very nice of her, now go and find your sister, I want to know why she didn’t tell me where you were.” Naomi went in search of Rebecca and found her cutting half-open blooms from the rose bush. “Mum wants to see you, she says you didn’t tell her where I was going.” “Oh no! I forgot!” said Rebecca. “I have a list of chores to cross off as I do them, my punishment for forgetting something else last week,” she said ruefully.

“I expect you have too much on your mind with Susannah’s wedding coming soon and you being head bridesmaid,” said Naomi. “Where did she meet this Jacob anyway?” “She went with Dad to the old quarry, he wanted to discuss something with Old Mr Benjamin and Jacob was just home from college and as soon as they saw each other, both say they heard wedding bells right away.”

“Well that’s romantic for sure, but go and explain to mum now. I have to get the big black kettle ready for the fish stew Mum wants to make tomorrow.”
