Write On Wednesdays Exercise 3 - I remember: Write "I remember" a the top of your page. Set a timer for 5 minutes. Use "I remember" as your prompt and write down the first words that come into your head for 5 minutes. Stop when the buzzer rings! Do this exercise over and over if you wish. I will try to do it every morning this week. I'll let you know how I go...I am hoping that the thought of having to tell you all about my progress will be the motivation I need to keep at it!

Write On Wednesdays: I remember...
The pitter patter of the rain drops on the tin roof always brings back memories flooding in. Rain in the country is a rare thing. It is celebrated every time it comes. I love the smell of rain; the contact it makes with the dusty ground always soothes me. I can sleep well whenever it rains. One of the fondest memories I have of the rain is; living out west and my grandparents had come to visit. I can clearly see and hear my Dad and Granddad busily fixing the tank. It is one of those old tin tanks on a stand. It was fun to climb around on. There is swearing and cursing from my Granddad. The water pours from the tank spraying everywhere. I remember mum letting my sister (aged 2) and I (aged 5) run under the spray. I can remember the fluffy towel that my Grandmother cuddled us dry in; it was so comforting. I don't know what the fuss and hurry with fixing the tank as I don't remember it raining that time. However whenever it rains I remember this scene.
I too love the sound of rain on a tin roof :) it's nice remembering isn't it!
ReplyDeleteSo many childhood memories are tied up with rain, sprinklers and playing in water. It's hard to tell a story from the perspective of a young child, but you've kept it true.
ReplyDeleteRain is such a mood changer. I think you have captured its calmness and the safety it brings. Thanks for sharing your memories and playing along with Write On Wednesday! Gill xo
