Bootsey's Picnic

	As she watched Bootsey make her way across the flower bed, Bobby Jo began to feel very worried. She worried about Aunt Holly's lovely violet bed. Bootsey was crushing it badly. She worried about Isaac, as he sat waiting in the damp grass. When she looked at the red berry stains on her fingers, she worried about her lovely new dress.

"Wendell will eat more strawberries than THAT!" Bootsey's voice startled Bobby Jo so badly, she forgot to worry and remembered their picnic instead. But somehow, it didn't seem quite as exciting as it had before. Bobby Jo tried to find a dry place for Wendell to wait. She tried being very careful not to stain her dress with the sweet, red, berry juice. And, she tried not to think about how much trouble they might be in.
Everyone was so busy picking and waiting and worrying, I don't think anyone noticed the little white clouds puffing across the garden sky. Did you see them?
