Adventure and Mayhem

Technically the sun was up. It was up somewhere or she wouldn't be able to see the dark form of the clouds streaking across the mottled sky that was just barely tinted with the firs rays of morning light. The horizon bore a soft peach color and Gossamer scooted from her mother's side toward the den entrance to get a better look. The trees and grasses were still dark silouettes but there was a gentle breeze and a myriad of new scents. She didn't go all the way outside but today was the day they'd get to go exploring. Of course she wasn't quite sure what qualified as 'day' but if 'day' was when the sun got up then it was time to go outside!

Gossamer scrambled over to her mom, seeking to snuggle up to the woman's neck. "Mom? Mom, it's day time, can we go outside now?" Her ears flicked forward as she waited for a response. "Mooooooom" She wrinkled her nose and sighed. Was mom really that deeply asleep or was she purposely being ignored? With a dramatic sigh she flopped down where she'd originally been sleeping and waited for the sun to hurry up.

At some point she'd fallen back asleep but the minute they were allowed out she dashed after Ophelia with a cheer. She bounded through the green grass, enjoying the texture before something bright and yellow caught her attention. She wandered over to the little fluffly flower (dandelion). She bent down and sniffed at it for a moment before deciding that the only real way to tell what it was would be to stick it in her mouth. She immediately bit down on the flower then wrinkled her nose and spat it out. Ok, that was not food. "Mom! Mom, what are these for?" She pointed at the flowers.
