AKA Sesame Seeds

The wind was picking up, and the clouds were rolling in as the cold air drifted downward. Annie noticed the drop in temperature and wrapped her jacket tighter as she hurried home. It had gotten five degrees colder since she left the farmer’s market. She passed the neighborhood’s famous old oak tree. Glancing up, she saw the family of three owls snuggled against the trunk and each other, their feathers blowing wildly in the wind.

LJ heard the front door slam. “looks like you made it just in time,” he said as he walked into the foyer to help her with her backpack. “Find what you were looking for?”

“That sounds good. I can sip as I make Benne Cookies.”

“Do they have something to do with that fragrant smell coming from the kitchen?”

“Yes,” he said, walking down the hall. “It’s warm in the kitchen, and I’ll show you.”
