I haven’t been able to visit Friday Fictioneers in a few weeks. Schedules once again have gotten the better of me and quick posts between meetings have been the limit of my blogging.

This week, though, I was determined to actually sit down and write. Please click HERE  to visit our hostess Rochelle and her 100 or so contributors. Our stories this week are all inspired from the photo prompt above.

Beauty Finds A Benefactor

“Imogene who planted them flowers in that old commode?” Daddy yelled as he came in from the junk yard.

“I did.” Momma hollered back.

“I was gon sell that.” Daddy chided throwing his lunch pail on the table.

“When?” Momma snapped. “It’s been sittin’ out the front door two years!”

“Don’t rush a man, woman.” Daddy chuckled.

“It’s a junk yard dog I’ll be rushin’!” Momma smiled as she said it.

“I’ll have you know I’m a sanitation engineer.” he replied hand to heart.

Momma kissed Daddy gently.

“Okay you can keep your flowers.”

Momma giggled, “I know I can.”
