Ch-ch-cherry, no Lemon Balm

She nodded her head vigorously as her father spoke, and tried to ensure she had it all to memory. The plants he was telling her about where all spring herbs that would keep through Summer

She was proud when she guessed the Mint right, and beamed up at him, stepping forward to sniff the Lemon Balm as he pointed it out to her. The more subtle scent hadn’t been easy to find amongst the stronger smell of Mint, she looked up at her father in appreciation. He must have such a good nose, that he can pick up all this around them, she hoped she could one day.

She leaned into his nuzzle, enjoying this solo time with her father, and moved where he indicated, heading towards the stream. She resisted the urge to cast a look about for salamanders, she had a job today and play wasn’t in it. “and what does Red Clover do?” she asked as she sniffed this last herb he had pointed out. She hoped she could straighten out all the smells in her head and remember which was which.
