Charli Mills with her Carrot Ranch Prompt for this week:
May 30, 2019, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story that includes strawberries and mint. The combination evokes color contrast, scents, and taste. Where will the combination take you? Go where the prompt leads!
Pimm’s O’Clock
Right.
I’ve laid all the components out.
A jug.
Glasses.
The lemonade is chilled and ready.
Succulent red strawberries just waiting for me to slice them.
A firm, green cucumber, already transformed into slices, then quartered.
A big, juicy orange chopped into little triangles; peel still attached.
Ice. Lots of cool, refreshing ice.
Fresh, minty leaves.
And that beautiful bottle of fruity gin liqueur.
I slowly pour in the alcohol, and add the lemonade, watching the bubbles fizz up.
A big handful of ice, then the assorted fruits.
Just a few leaves of mint.
Perfect.
It’s Pimm’s o’clock now!
Pimm’s, anyone?
But I Smile Anyway...

Well done. I struggle to work too hard for a drink though. It it’s more that opening the beer or splashing the whisky in a glass I usually have to have someone else make it. Someone other than me.

Sometimes, a large jug of something so refreshing is worth it… because it’s a jug, and I won’t have to get up too often!

Is pimms the same thing as croquet? It’s been forever since I’ve tried playing that game.

The word ‘Pimms’ sounds British! Kind of like “Nobbly Bobbly” sounds extremely British.
