Microfiction Monday # 52



Welcome to Microfiction Monday.


Where a picture paints 140 characters.
Susan over at Stonyriver hosts Microfiction Monday The rules are simple,to use Susan's picture she posts then compose a story up to 140 characters including spaces and punctuation.

So here is this weeks picture and my story to go with.



It's been the darkest of days
coldest winter in years.
Now it's raining,the river is flowing
Spring for the Midwest
Not a chance!

Now Leap on over to Susan's place and leave your name.
She even has a brilliant counter to help us count.
As Susan promises, it's fast, it's fiction, it's fun!

    Bill is an optimist, isn't he, Peggy? It's still January, that's your problem. The longest month of the year, but February is guaranteed to be shorter.
    Good take on the prompt, however.

    To me wet and foggy goes along with bone chilling.
    How true... In the Mid-west, it can look like things are warming up ... but looks can be deceiving.

    Thank you and welcome to me blog!
