SEA GRASS ?

Mabel Lucie and Millie have become firm friends being the two newcomers. They were out in the garden looking at all the work their new Mum and Dad were doing.
They had climbed onto on of the newly stained covered benches to get a better view and were happily chatting.

Suddenly they heard a cough !

They had not noticed a little silver bear sitting in a chair on the bench!

"Hello " says the bear " You must be new. I'm called Mr Mossy and I am quite famous, would you like my autograph ? "

" No thank you " says Millie having no idea what an autograph is and not sure it's something she'd want if she did !" we are just admiring the beautiful colour of Sea Grass and think Mum made a good call "
"Yes " says Mabel Lucie shyly " It's a good colour to use with the lavender "

Mossy gets up in his chair and stares down at the grass.

The girls do the same waiting to see what Mr Mossy says ..

"See grass and lavender ? " mumbles Mossy staring intently at the grass below the bench.

He sits back down in his chair and looks sadly at the girls. " I can see the grass but no lavender " he smiles kindly " you know grass is green don't you ? "
Both girls nod slowly , he carries on " and my full name is Mossy the green , so I would know all about green and therefore grass and mother nature made it that colour not Mrs Mum "

Millie turns to Mabel Lucie and whispers " Do you have any idea what he's on about? "
" Not a clue " confirms Mabel Lucie
" Maybe he's a little.....simple? " whispers Millie
Mabel Lucie nods in agreement.

Turning back to Mossy , Millie says in a cheerful voice " It was lovely chatting but we must get on "
"Lovely " confirms Mabel Lucie turning to hurry away " Bye !"
The girls hurry off.

Mossy settles back in his chair thinking about the new girls saying Mrs Mum had made the grass green ! Mind you those girls were very young and could have got confused ! Anyway he was going to enjoy some sunshine in the bear chair, he knows it's not his turn but it's not his fault if whoever's turn it is was not using it when he saw it in the house.It's much nicer out here in the sunshine..his thoughts start to slow and he starts snoring gently....

I am very pleased with the new bench colours of Lavender and Sea grass, they have had a second coat and are now waiting to go back on their bases.

The girls waiting for their photo shot on the second bench which was in the shade.

The background colour really shows off Millie's Batik dress.

Well must get back to the gardening.
