I love being surrounded by plants and flowers. When two kittens adopted me, I had to move my “toxic” plants into a closed room. The weather has warmed enough to bring them outdoors for the summer. The pots get heavier each season.
No fresh cut flowers
In vases on the table
Curious felines
Gardens indoors and outdoors
Transition with the seasons

Jennifer, I love this tanka. It shows the movement of the seasons, just like when we switch clothes for the summer.

Lovely poem. The exposition you provided helped me understand ‘Garden indoors, outdoors’. I liked how you said, ‘kittens adopted me’. 🙂

We have a new cat. He’s about a year old. He keeps chewing the leaves of my plants.😡

My cats have gotten a bit better as they are older, but there are still a few plants that are too tempting for them…

That’s what I’m hoping for. That he will grow out of it.🤞🏻

When kittens adopt a person they somehow “know” that they are in a safe place and will be cared for. What are the kittens names? Are they male and female? Cats are demanding but also show affection for their care givers.

They are brothers, Sammie and Leo. They are very affectionate cats. ❤️
