Ophelia explained that she was investigating the plants that grew around their new home. Gossamer nodded emphatically. "Same, not that its easy with all this snow on the ground." She scooped some up with her paw and flicked it to the side. "Probably was better hunting in fall, but I figure I can at least see what trees with healing properties in their bark grow around here." Ophelia motioned to a plant at her feet and Gossamer stepped closer to get a better look, nostrils flaring to take in the scent.
"Oh, hey, good find. It's peppermint." She was surprised to see it but perhaps this snow fall was one of the first and the plant was still holding steady despite the arrival of winter, at least for now. "We can use the leaves and stems in tea. It can help soothe a sore throat and sometimes ease an upset stomach."
