Not content with visiting Marje, I also popped over to Dorinda’s, today!
Don’t worry, it was an extremely socially distanced affair, I promise!
But a lovely chat, nonetheless!

Charli’s Carrot Ranch fiction prompt, this week:
May 7, 2020, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story to nourish. The characters can nourish or be nourished. What else can be nourished? A tree? A setting? Does the sunset nourish the soul? Go where the prompt leads!
Solo Nourishment
Mae gently emptied the last of the water from her watering can into the flowerbed.
The roses were doing rather well, all things considered.
All around her, news filtered in of the deaths of people around the world, and even some friends.
It had been tough.
Her usual routine of seeing her grandchildren at the end of each school day, with her feeding them nourishing snacks, and sometimes dinner, if her daughter was running late, was gone.
They couldn’t meet one another.
A video call sufficed, and the odd drive-by wave.
At least she could still nourish her garden.

I know that flag, it’s the MacDonald Trump flag!
Student, aged 6
We were learning about VE Day in school with the keyworker children, and as we looked at information, flags showing countries who were involved came up on the screen.
Guess which country’s flag was being described above?
