One early afternoon, in all other ways like any other afternoon, her mother takes her out in her stroller, soothing her with a laughing mom’s voice. She tells her about the wind that sings and then softens among the branches and the swallows that compete in skill to skim the pond for a few refreshing drops of water before flying off again in perfect circles into the clouds.

The opener created an image for me as well as set a nice mood. I’d keep reading.

Nicely descriptive, but not sure yet — I’d have to read more.
Thanks for joining us this week; I appreciate it.

I know, I wanted to add more to it, and also wanted to stick to the rule of the 1st paragraph only!! it gets intriguing 2 lines below…

It does conjure up a pretty image, but I’d need to read more before deciding. Enjoy!
