Clara lived in a cozy apartment with a large sunny balcony. She loved filling every room with green plants and soft lights. Every Sunday morning, Clara checked on her little home garden. Her dog, Jasper, always followed her around the bright apartment. Jasper was a gentle companion who liked watching the leaves sway. Today, the morning air was warm and smelled like fresh rain. Clara put on her comfortable cotton apron and smiled softly. She filled her blue watering can with cool clean water. It is time for breakfast, my green friends, she said. She started with the tall fern that stood near the window. Its delicate fronds drank the water with quiet gratitude. Next, she watered the fragrant mint plant on the table. She plucked a small leaf to make hot tea later. Jasper sat near her feet, resting his head on a pillow. Clara moved carefully between her many plant pots. She had gathered these plants over many happy years. Some were gifts from friends, while others were rescued. She wiped dust off the glossy leaves with a damp cloth. Caring for her garden always helped her feel calm. In the far corner of the windowsill sat a plain plant.
