Ellie does some interesting things. One of those happens when we go on our walks in the mornings. Our route takes us through a nearby apartment complex. Across from the office is a bed of Jasmine. Ellie loves this Jasmine. It has been established for many years and has a height of about five or six inches, with the newer, softer growth on top.

| Ellie in the Jasmine |
She almost always jumps into the Jasmine as we pass this spot on our walk. Then she stretches out and wiggles and squirms in it. She scratches her back but also enjoys the coolness of the leaves. Then she stops for a few seconds and starts all over again. Finally, we tell her it is time to go, and she jumps out, and we continue walking.
We all probably have things we enjoy doing, perhaps for no good reason, so I can relate to Ellie's joy in the tiny-leaved plant. Oddly, we have two different types of Jasmine at our house, and she isn't particularly interested in either of them. We also pass other beds of Jasmine on our walks, but she never seems to want to rest in those. There is something about that one bed that gives her great pleasure. and it gives us pleasure to watch her in it, as she enjoys it to the fullest.
