Bearclaw Valley the specular thought brought on oneself:

 Though healing of bodies and midwifery is not where her skillset lay, she knows she will most likely be called upon to pitch in come whelping. She does not mind the ask, nor Blondine's sudden presence, a bright spot on an otherwise middling day. "Some," she answers by way of greeting, "lavender as always, some mint. Have you found any raspberry plants?" She worries the season will arrive too late for them this year ... perhaps they ought to cultivate a garden together once the frost finally melts.
