Sunday Scribblings: Time Machine

The smell of burning wood,
the sound of dry oak leaves blowing in a hot afternoon wind,
the feel of dust settling on sun tinged skin,
the sight of a salamander scrambling to hide under a submerged rock,
and the taste of vegetables just picked.
I am ten years old and by my grandmother's side again.

Thanks for reading.
