Nov. 12 basset planter Our friends in America
(Part 2)


Seeing Begonias in the planter in front of our house, Tsugi, our guardian, showed us some photos saying that Paula, Lily and Linus's guardian in Pennsylvania, likes to grow flowers and they are one of her many favorite annual flowers


paula, Lily and linus "Wow! this is her flower garden. Every
summer she has lot of flowers."

"Linus and Lily look very happy. Maybe they also like flowers. Fuh, you also like flowers, especially edible flowers."

"Yuh, you are a keen observer. By the way, do you know why Paula named our friends "Lily and "Linus"?

"Paula says that Lily's full name is "Lily of the
Valley" which is a favorite flower of hers.  It was blooming when her husband and she got Lily."

"She seems to be very friendly and has a warm look, doesn't she?.

" Yes, indeed. The name suits her very well.

Linus on the couch
           (about 48 pounds)
"Fuh, how about Linus? "

"Linus' name comes from
the "Charlie Brown" cartoon. You know the cartoon.  Linus is the little boy who always carries his security blanket.  Paula says the name is so perfect for him because he is a little shy and he needs to be reassured all of the time."


"How did she get him?"

"He was a stray. She is not sure what his past may have been."

"That's why he is a litle shy, but he is happy to
live with Lily, Paula and her husband, Scott."

"I think so."

Paula and Scott "Fuh, why are Paula and Scott smiling"

"They are looking at Lily and Linus"

"What is Lily doing?"
   Lily get a treat " She is making a jack-o'-lantern."

"Really? She seems to smell it."

"Yuh, imagination is very important to lead a happy
life."
     Linus and the Great Pumpkin "I see. I'm sure that Linus admires her work."

"Yuh, that's right. He likes her as she is a sweet
sister."


Lily and Linus "She is taking a nap on the Futon in the sunroom , her favorite spot and Linus looks on."

"Both of them must have gotten treat without fail.They
seem to have had enough. Fuh, I am hungry."

"Me, too."
