     The garden was behaving unusually lively today, many of the plants appearing to be agitated for reasons Katrina herself could not entirely understand.  From her understanding there was not to be a storm coming in today and the Queen’s troops were not scheduled to be coming through for the next few days.  She did her best to speak to each of the plants in the hopes of calming them down, but even they did not know what was coming.  Worry washed over her for the moment, a natural reflex to the fear of anything that could happen to those closest to her.  She stared at the town for a moment, eyes wandering the Wonderland until resting on the woods.  She sighed knowing there could be nothing to prevent the unexpected, one can only go with it.

     Focusing on her work once more, she placed on a pot to boil for tea before going onwards to water the plants.  She was always meticulous in her gardening her duties, her pride shown in the beauty of it.  It was a nice day out, the weather warm, but not too hot.  The trees were dancing, and horseflies ninnied, chasing one another round and round.  There was so much life here, one of the reason Kat first fell in love with the location.  

     After watering she grabbed a basket, starting to fill it with sweets for Chess to take back to his home with him.  Taking glass bottles she filled them with the liquid from the waterfall; she never knew what he tasted when drinking the liquid, it could be different each time.  Placing lids on the bottles she placed them in a line on the bottom of the basket.  From there she collected candied roses, snazzleberries, peaches, plums, and variety of other fruit from her trees.  She rearranged them again and again until she was pleased with the overall aesthetic appeal.

     While lost in thought Katrina suddenly remembered her teapot, which was now screaming at her from the stove.  Running in, (in a rather spazzy gape one might add) she placed her basket on the table, turning off the fire wiping her forehead in relief, [color=red]“Kat, you have got to quit being so scatterbrained or you are going to end up burning your home down.”[/color]  Sighing, she began to hum as she placed the teabags in pouring the liquid into several cups.  She always liked to have the tea prepared in case she had visitors, the Hatter in particular hating to wait very long for his tea. 

     Continuing her humming, she proceeded to place the cups on a tray with sugar and cream.  Adding finger sandwiches, she placed the assortment on the counter and grabbing a cup herself took a sip moving towards the kitchen window looking out towards the majesty of the Red Castle wondering once more what could be coming in Wonderland’s future.
