Clutter


Last week's Illustration Friday topic was "Clutter."
It made me think of one time when I was in 1st or 2nd grade: My mom told me to clean my room, which had all my toys strewn about. I didn't want to do it! But I picked the toys up and put them in my toy-storage laundry baskets. And when they were all put away, I was amazed by the vast expanse of open floor. The fuzzy green rug was like a wide open plain. So I took this tiny plastic deer that I had and galloped it all across the plain.
This one instance of childhood play stands out in my memory.
