The Elephant in the Garden (1)

Arianell stepped into her vegetable garden, a sanctuary of green abundance. The earth beneath her bare feet embraced her presence, and she in return took the role of caretaker with unwavering dedication.

Taking care of the garden requires time, patience, and a deep connection with nature.

Kneeling beside a row of tender seedlings, she gently loosened the soil around their delicate roots, ensuring they had ample room to grow and thrive. With a smile, she whispered words of encouragement, as if her voice could infuse the young plants with strength and vitality.

"Please grow up quickly to fill my belly."

Thanks to Luan staying around, the housework was finished in no time. Starting with chopping wood every morning, he wouldn't let her get near any tiresome work, including rooting out weed from the vegetable beds. Sometimes, she even had to fight him for letting her do some work.
