Thank you for stopping by for another story snack. I hope you enjoy this slice of childhood inspired by a photo writing prompt for the 1 May 2021 Friday Fictioneers Blog Challenge hosted by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields..
On an amusing note, I wrote this story in its entirety while on hold with my trash company.
The Photo
Description for my blind and visually impaired readers: We’re outside on a cloudy day by a lake. We see a couple of plastic chairs with a table between and a couple of items on the table.
The Inspiration
I remembered my summer when I was about eight years old. We had a profusion of green beans, and I had the task of taking off the ends and string to prepare them for eating and canning.
The Story: Snap, Snap, Toss, Drop
Grand set me up on the front porch with a bucket of beans, a big bowl to put themin once I had the ends off, and a container for the ends.
“Bring me the bowl when it’s full and I’ll cook that bunch for supper.”
I’m so sick of beans.
My grandfather had planted climbing beans all the way down the fence, and we’d been eating beans every day for a month. Grand, who refused to be grandma or grandmother, had set up dozens of cans, so we’d be in beans forever.
Snap, snap, toss, drop. Snap, snap, toss, drop.
Thanks for reading!
Cheers to your #BLISSfulLife!!
