Charming blue sky, pink flowers. I don't think I like the pink, the green grass is more likeable for me. (long pause. She acts like she's looking through a window.) My head hurts! What is the bandage on my head? (touches forehead) It's too tight to take off and my arms feel tired. (long pause) Oh I forgot to water my garden this morning. I thought I would sleep in.
