100 Word Challenge for Grown Ups - The Rain Turned The Road into a River

I am joining in with the 100 word challenge for grown ups and it is week 50

*************************

So, I go for a day trip on a farm.

It’s July.

It’s Summer.

I take the boy.

I take the wellies.

The day is to be all about the animals.

A city boy and a city mum go to the farm.

The animals take a back seat.

The weather gets all the attention.

… the rain turned the road into a river…

So the wellies became the saviour!

The puddles and the splash the prize.

You need to be two years old to see that every cloud truly does have a silver lining?

Maybe the road needed to be a river.

Maybe water is the route to joy?

  1. Argh! Sorry, thats the second time this week I've commented on someones blog using my husband's account details! Well, I was trying to say that I loved this post, so I'll still say that but now you get a picture of his face too! Oops!

    1. I have removed it completely as it looked odd saying "this post has been removed by the author" and until yours I worried a little.
      Anyway, we now can't see his face, so all is well and his identity is protected.
      Thanks so much for stopping by.

  2. I meant to say: Water always wins when you're two! Sorry I keep making too many typos and not reading it over before sending.

  5. What a cute little story! I can just see the two year old delightedly stomping his feet to see how big a splash he can make.

    1. Thankfully wellies and puddles are new to him, so he didn't quite do that.
      He was in awe of it though, like in the snap
