 |  | The Warmth of Spring  [E] The world was a white haze; at least what she could see of it through the ice-glazed pane.  |
| (4.5)  Happy Earth Day!  Hi Hunter's Moon! This is absolutely charmng! I just saw this non poetic entry at the Earthday Challenge! {e;smile} I had to check it out.I so enjoyed this story with its environmental theme set in a future time. The intimate drama unfolded between mom and child on one April morning sometime he future when he earth was cooler. I like how you gradually release details of changes like little fruit, snow in April and how it came to be and that the story mom tells is about the the spring as it used to be. You make it seem magical, which it would be if some one had never seen it. Sad to think it would ever come to that. The Storyline flowed welland easy to follow. The descriptions of the setting, and characters and the "spring" scene are vivid and detailed. I liked the "spikey" hair and "scrunched up" expression. Reading the story gave me a warm fuzzy feeling. The dialogue was natural and purposeful and enlived your characters. A story day sounds like fun too. I like the way the mom didn't recall the details of the environment matter as it is believable--who would understand the scientific jargon.? Inventive solution you created was clever. I have seen big snow in April here so I wasn't shocked by it in the story. Maybe a later date might give a more dramatic clue--though you do say later that it snowed til July. I was enchanted by the spring story.."the bravest of flowers..." I'm thinking dandelions and daffodils!! LOL This was delightful entertainment with a message to make us pause and appreciate the earth and its seasons. How lucky we are.  Thanks for sharing your gift. Light on the path as you write on! eyestar
