The fun of watering the flowers
I love to water the flowers in the Meadow. It makes me happy to know I’m doing something nice for them. I like to see them all smiley and chuckley. It’s fun, too!
I know they get lots of rain but on hot days they tell me they’re a little thirsty. They droop and they floop and they get all dramatic until they have my attention. So I go to mamma’s greenhouse and I get the shiny silver watering pot and off I go. The flowers get all excited and perk up.
Sometimes, as a surprise, I water them with lemonade. They love it and so do the bees!
Growth is good for flowers and trees and buzzing little bees. It’s also good for things like you and me!
