Spring was finally here! Bancha couldn’t inherently explain why he was so excited for the snow to melt or the chill to dissipate, but that morning, he certainly felt better. As if the warm spring air rejuvenated his soul. He was ready for an adventure! Whether it be by himself or someone tagged along, he wouldn’t deny the company.

He wanted to go somewhere new that day. Going out to the coast east from the falls wasn’t enough. He had been to the bay before so his steps took him slightly south, following the falls that turned into spindly rivers that eventually met the ocean. Fresh water slowly turned into brackish water where many different varieties of life could coexist.

His paws splashed through the sandy shallows, taking note of the world around him. As he follows the curve of the splitting tide pools where a few trees still grew, the scent of lemon caught his attention. Stopping to look around, he notices lemon balm beginning to unfurl new leaves. Oh, some of that would be perfect for bug bites now that the weather was getting warmer!
