| Maine Warmers' Panda Bear |
This Panda Bear loves the gardens in Boothbay, Maine, over
250 acres of paths that wind in and around formal gardens and stone architecture.
Ponds, fountains, bridges, and other wooden structures showcase and support
huge varieties of plants. A children’s garden provides a lovely place to play
and even a spot to stop and read books.
If you take your children to this garden, be sure to talk
with them about the importance of plants in our lives – from clothing, to the
food we eat, medications we take, and the air we breathe. My grandson said that
everything we make comes from plants, although we do make many things from
minerals – abundant in the ground.
Be sure to take the walk along Back River and stop at
the gazebo for a breather along the way.

| Cecil, Maine Warmers' Harbor Seal, enjoying a dip in the pool |
Maine Warmers' Harbor Seal, was so happy to take a break in the
mediation pool, to the delight of two happy children who also wanted to jump
into the water on this warm spring day. I wonder if they know that Cecil, the
seal, can be frozen and used to cool off on a sweltering hot summer day.
We were all happy when the shuttle bus came along and provided a ride to our car. When we arrived home I put my tired feet on top of a microwave heating pad and relaxed in a cool breeze blowing across the deck and a frosty glass of ice-tea.
