Shivers

Looking at the tri-colored wolf, ears low, Meadow feels embarrassed for talking so much. However, her anxiety is quickly banished as Abilene reassures and tells her to keep talking. Bright smile returns as the words start to flow again. This time, she speaks slower and with less urgency. Herbs seem to be a safe topic so Meadow falls back to the subject of healing arts. She says, “Marigold is another common herb. The flowers grow in yellow, orange or red. The petals can be applied to burns or cuts and are great for bug bites or stings.”

While she rambles, the small wolf relaxes and the smile becomes easier. She adds, “You can also eat the petals to help with gum pain and sore throats.” Letting silence fall, Meadow walks in comfortable silence for a moment before saying, “I really love plants and learning of all their healing properties. It is amazing to think that every plant you pass has some kind of ability to either help or hurt those who ingest it.” With a smile she walks next to Abilene and enjoys her company.
