Words Count With Mama Zen

Greetings Toads!

On a recent leisurely amble through our lovely garden, it occurred to me that we're missing something.  We don't have a Toad House!

So, today, we're going to build one.

Think of all of the pieces and parts that make up a house.  Rooms and a roof.  Porches and plumbing.  Windows and wheels (what?  Trailers have wheels!).  You get the idea.  Then, pick your project and get to work.  Be as material or metaphorical as you like.  Just keep it to forty-eight words or less.  Toad houses are pretty small, after all.

Happy Building!

Every little toad gotta find its way home.

What's wrong with a pond?
They only like one thing :-)

Love the toad house! This was good practice for me to keep it focused and tight. Thanks.

My discovery for the day was Toad houses! Had much fun designing mine :)

Not sure how literal you wanted us to go, MZ, but since I'm a toad, my very small house will do.

Thanks for another excellent challenge to say more in less.

Morning, Toads! I'm just back from another trip to the ER with my little girl, but I'll (hopefully) be around soon.

Unknown said...

48 exactly! Woo Hoo!

Mine is more of a goatfish house. But still, perhaps an honorary toad. Great challenge, MZ.

Lots going on--will check back later to read.

48 - Great! And Mama Z, I hope you're little one is ok.

hedgewitch said...

I decided I just wasn't happy with mine, so have taken it away for redecorating. Will finish the rounds though tomorrow--thanks to all who stopped by.

Wrote about a favorite place I liked to lay and soak up the sun. Guess I was always meant to be a toad :)

Mama Zen - Hopefully your ER has a nice pediatric wing... either way, it's not a fun place to be.

I love the idea, but I fought all day trying to come up with something. My brain has been thinking Goth lately and I wanted something brighter...
