Phoenix Maplewood That's the Spirit

She'd excused herself from weeding and otherwise tending her garden to clean up by the stream. It wasn't too terribly far from here. Just a quick jaunt in that direction and the trickling sound of water greeted her ears with pleasant burbling. Eventually, she’d carve a trail from here to there that was easy to follow, but for now she contented herself by the river and groomed the clumps of dirt from her fur.

For all sakes and purposes, she’d considered her garden well taken care of for the day. The sun was growing hotter as the day progressed, so she’d pick back up again in the morning and see what needed to be tended to. Nevertheless, after she’d washed off her paws, she felt content to return to the garden to oversee it. Her chest swelled with pride. Yes… This garden would be sure to thrive under her care.

She found her Amazon sister resting within the weeds. With curious blue eyes, she neared the dark female and glanced down at her. "Eh-hem,” she murmured, clearing her throat to rouse the wolf from where she lay. ”I didn’t expect to find you here.” She didn’t expect to find anyone anywhere, but it seemed her garden was a popular location amongst pack members. Perhaps it was simply because this area was one of the few places where she could be consistently found.
