Drabble #7 Once upon a Thyme

...laments of the sunflower clock

Sunflower looked over the herbs growing peacefully in Rosemary's garden of parsley, basil and sage.The ducks would waddle through ridding them of wiggly things that nibbled and chewed. Blackface and Greyface would mew and snooze under the bird bath protecting them from squirrels and the occasional mouse while Rusty rested in her doghouse. Once upon...

A rooster crowed and hens scurried around in confusion. Curious, the cats opened their eyes and Rusty wagged her tail.

The gardener was carrying a pot, looking for the perfect spot for her new pet, Thyme. The sunflower sighed, wasn't I a good enough clock?
