She hadn't expected to spend her first weeks here sick, but life had other plans. It had started with chills and a sore throat, which led to a cough and stuffy nose. She rested a lot at first but now she was just sick of doing nothing. Plus, she knew there was a plant around here that could help with some of her symptoms.
The marshmallow plant. The leaves could be used for medicine. She knew they were hardy little plants that could withstand the cold. But the pretty flowers she usually used to find them would no longer be there. She would have to rely on her somewhat compromised sense of smell, which would make things more difficult.
She started around the lake, nose to the ground as she searched. She had to stop every now and then to cough or clear her throat, but she wasn't going to give up. If she found enough, she could store it for the others too.
