It’s April and that means we’re going to try some new ideas for story prompts. This week, I came up with an idea about a story that has to contain five words (I’ve gone with a spring theme). See if you can scatter the following five words into your story flowers spring exhausted never-ending gas…

We’re now in the third week of the daily prompts. I thought we’d start with a photo prompt and here it is-
