The spring water poured from the side of the hill like a faucet abandoned by children called to an early dinner of their favorite dishes.
The crystal ribbon of water was achingly, gaspingly cold.
A cold so intense it almost felt like fire if you left your hands under the stinging flow for too long.
The water ran down a small incline and bubbled and burbled along a narrow waterway edged in a frill of emerald green so powerful it imprinted the intense color on to your retinas.

Watercress and water polished pebbles…
Luscious, luxuriant, verdant blades of grass and precious, blonde-haired little girls looking for treasures and arrowheads …
A memory from a farmstead in honor of the letter “G”.

Our well water is like that - so cold it hurts and so fresh and natural.
Lots of great descriptive G's here Jenny! Happy New Year. I'm back in the game...
That was the best description of water from a spring - and I love the image of the happy girls and gurgling stream. Beautiful.
I like these memory pieces you've been doing lately!
=)
Ok this might not seem hard to you but I have just totally confused myself. Firstly I signed into your blog and thought Oh I want to do some blog visiting not read yours then as is my want I started from the bottom and ended up with your blog any way oh yes and very good it is too
Wow, your words alone paint quite the picture here but I do also love the little pictures you used:-) Great post!
What a beautiful picture you painted!
Love it!
Makes me homesick for the farm I grew up on in PA...
This reminded me of my little sister! Lovely!
Jenny, just reading this piece gave me a chill from the icy water. I could visualize the two precious blond headed girls. Great job! The holidays, and a hand injury have had me soooo busy, but I do plan to get back into joining Sat. Centus soon. laurie
These deliciously wonderful blue colors in water and stones, really delicate, wonderful. I hope you've had a great time for the holidays, I wish you a happy and prosperous new year 2012
Great visual story and photos, thank you for this creative avenue.
Great descriptions Jenny! I could feel the biting cold of that water!
Hope you are doing well...

I love these memories you keep sharing, no matter if they are real or imagined. I'm enjoying imagining them.
Jenny, you are a wordsmith. You are amazing. I love it!
Goodness gracious, just as I was ready to keep on reading it was over! What a lovely read this was! Amazing visions with every word!
Romantic post ! My hands feel already cold ! You should have titled your post "Memory of a green farmhouse" ! lol !
One little bird was singing outside on this dark January morning, and reading this I could almost convince myself that I smelled spring!
This could have been taken from my childhood or my present life.
I saw the stream, the water, and the girls looking for arrowheads.
Beautifully written.
How refreshing! Makes me want to sit and Gaze on the glorious water.

Hello Jenny
I'm new this week and really enjoyed how you slipped in the letter G at the end of your post.
Memories are a worthy thing to share and reflect upon.
I hope to get the knack of using the weekly letter in imaginative ways.
Thanks for hosting.
