Arcade feature #1: Beatrix Potter

When the three kittens were ready, Mrs. Tabitha unwisely turned them out into the garden, to be out of the way while she made hot buttered toast.

"Now keep your frocks clean, children! You must walk on your hind legs. Keep away from the dirty ash-pit, and from Sally Henny Penny, and from the pig-stye and the Puddle-Ducks."

-The Tale of Tom Kitten

Note the snapdragons on the right-hand side, and the budding peony plants in the back on the left.
