Gardens are great places to rest and relax. Mum has turned our courtyard into a garden where the plants are all in pots. This is so she can move them around and change the look of the garden whenever she gets tired of the way it looks. That happens too often for Dad, who does the lifting and moving. Anyhow, I like the look of it no matter how it is arranged, specially when the flowers are blooming. One of the coolest places on a warm day is sitting in a flower pot where the soil is cool and damp, with a bunch of flowers overhead making shade. I learned about this from a neighbourhood cat, who adopted our courtyard for a while. The drawback is that Mum doesn't like me to get damp and dirty so I have to pick the pot very carefully. There are some interesting things mixed in among the flowerpots. You can see a wizard reading a book to a small dragon off to the left of my resting pot. And there is a family of small bears sitting in the shade of another pot full of orange flowers. They seem to be rather shy and don't say much. Everyone should have a small garden or at least a few pots of pretty flowers.
