A Real Garden Splash

The sliding glass door stood open just a crack, letting in cool outdoor air! I waddled through into the bright balcony. Green giants towered everywhere in huge ceramic pots! Underneath a giant fern, I spotted a wide terracotta tray filled with a shallow skim of runoff water. Sunlight glittered across the earthy surface! I charged straight over and hopped right in. Splash! Cool muddy water surged over my knitted flippers, rippling rings into the baked clay edge. I puffed my chest out proudly, standing firm right in my first outdoor pool!
