Silky's Pansies.

今日もスッカーンと晴れた青空だーい！

The weather is brilliant again isn’t it!! We went to the park as usual and had a quite enjoyable walk. We met Henry who is a greyhound cross, huge and fluffy. I had been scared of him before because someone told mummy that he had been quite aggressive. However Henry is very gentle and quiet so Silky and I like him.

そよ風サラサラでルンルンルン

Later Silky said we had seen the duck lover couple but well... I was drinking the water so didn’t know they were there.

いつもの川で鴨ちゃんカップルに会って家路に・・・

After the walkies Silky and I planted some pansies in a flower basket. The basket used to be very pretty but recently I didn’t like it because every time I planted pretty flowers they died after a few weeks. I put plant food and watered them properly but they never grew well. Silky and I thought about the reason and we guessed that the small tree and the Ivy in the basket could have been too much. They could have taken all nutrition from the small pretty flowers, don’t you think daddy?



さて、今日の午後はシルキーの好物（？）パンジーを植えましょう
（シルキーは叱っても叱っても、私のパンジーを食べまくったんです）



Should we pull out both of them? Or one of them? Then which one??? Silky and I decided to pull out the Ivy because mummy said that she had seen a basket with pansies and small tree in the middle.

Let’s do it, then!!

シルキー「数日で食べ頃かな？」　
COCO「シルキー、パンジーは花で食べ物じゃないねんで・・・」

Well...we hope this time these pansies will grow healthily and beautifully. There were afew left so we planted them in a small pot too. Silky had been examining the pansies all the time. What does she want to know??? When mummy tried to take a photo of the pansies and us, she asked me quietly when she could eat them”.

シルキー「パンジーは生で食べるのが一番美味しゅうございますよ」
COCO「やれやれ・・・」
（一つはバスケット、一つは窓辺に置くのでシルキーには届きません。ふふふ）

Silky, they are not for eating but for looking at. Somehow Silky loves Pansies, not for looking at but for eating. Mummy and daddy stopped her from eating mummy’s pansies in the front garden but every time she passed in front of them she quickly grazed them like a cow. Are they tasty? Silky says it is best to eat them raw. Hmmm...I think I need some dressing at least.

Anyway this time, some are in the hanging basket and the others are on the windowsill so Silky cannot reach them.
