winter forage

The willow bark was difficult to harvest with everything being so cold and frozen so it took her longer than she would have liked to collect a good amount, but eventually she was satisfied and she hopped back down off of the tree trunk. Turning back toward the group, she went back around the edge of the lake to see that the others had slightly more interesting luck than herself. Valerian root, cattails, horsetail... Considering the fact that it was the dead of winter they were making out very well. As she rejoined Indigo, she said conversationally, If we're finding this much now, imagine how it will be through the spring and summer." After living on the ship for so long she had never really had a readily available assortment of herbs in her life so this was a welcome change. Already with the gardens that had been constructed on the island she had a decent supply, but she was interested to see how this land around this lake developed in the warmer months.
