Writer’s Workshop — Weekend Plans

Fandango

For his Writer’s Workshop this week, John Holton gives us six writing prompts and we are tasked with choosing one of the prompts (or as many as we want) and writing a post that addresses that (or those) prompt(s). I chose three prompts for this week: (1) use the word “abundant,” (2) write a post in exactly 9 sentences, and (5) what are your plans for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend?

The weather for the Memorial Day weekend couldn’t be more perfect.

There will be abundant sunshine with temperatures in the mid-sixties to low-seventies.

We’ve invited family and friends to come over on Saturday and again on Monday, with Sunday all to ourselves.

We will set up the inflatable bouncy house in our backyard and fill it will colorful balls for our grandkids and friends to play in.

I will fire up the backyard grill and barbecue burgers, hot dogs, and steaks.

We will add grilled veggies, corn on the cob, a healthy salad, and plenty of fresh fruit, plus some sweets for dessert.

I’ll provide the beer and wine for the adults and the fruit juice and sodas for the kids.

We will talk and laugh and play games and have fun with family and friends.

These are our plans for the Memorial Day weekend.

    We are supposed to reach 96 on Monday with a stray shower or thunderstorm being possible and I will grill burgers also.

    Sounds like a great weekend, especially taking some “us” time on Sunday.

    Enjoy!

    I am curious… more than once you have photographed tarantulas in your backyard, do they behave when company is over or do they mingle with the crowd?

      Most of the time they stay in their holes they’ve dug in the backyard, at least during the day. Also, their spidy holes are in a mulchy section of our backyard, within 10-15 feet from our back fence, so usually the only one in our family who goes back there is our dog. I go back there a few times a day to see if they are out of their holes or near the top.
