With winter finally over, and boy was it a long one, Mahlar was enjoying the first bit of spring. Not everything had recovered from a winter of cold and snow but life was certainly returning to the lands. Green was now the predominate color, where as only weeks ago it was white, and every now and then another color would pop into sight. It would be some time before everything came out in full force, but spring was definitely here and Mahlar couldn't be happier. In a couple more week Mahlar was sure that flowers would flow across all of the meadows, that trees would once again be weighed down with boughs full of leaves and fruit, and of course spring also meant lots of babies running around everywhere. Oh yes, spring was here and Mahlar was loving it.
Leaving the green of the meadow behind Mahlar ventured into a large stand of trees. He was curious to see what wonders awaited him among the sturdy trunks of the forest, what small signs of life he would find here. He followed a well used trail for some time before venturing off the beaten path. After a short time a flash of white and black with a hint of red caught his attention. Curious the small stallion made his way over towards the mix of colors. As he got closer he noticed it was a small mare, he body the color of snow, with a few patches of black that reminded him of clouds along with her black mane and tail. It was the flowers that truly drew him in, not just the ones she had in her mane and tail but also the way she seemed to be studying. Could he have found another flower enthusiast? Walking forward Mahlar approached the mare slowly not wanting to startle her. "Hello there." He looked between her and the flower by the base of the tree. "Quite an interesting flower you have found there."

He followed her the relatively short distance to her work place. As they came up to it Mahlar slowed his pace so he could get a good, clear look at everything. The scenery was gorgeous. There was water, shelter, everything she could possibly need. It was, for lack of a better word, perfect. He took in the waterfall, listening to the sounds of it. The large redwood and the lean to made a great little place to work and live. And lastly he inspected the patches of dirt, which he guessed would be some form of garden given enough time, it was early spring after all so not all plants have grown or come back from their winter state just yet.
"Wow." He finally managed to say now that he had gotten a good look at the place. "You are one lucky mare to live in a place like this." He couldn't help but take another look around at everything that she had. Yes, it was perfect, maybe even beyond perfect. He stepped closer to the garden areas and looked towards Xiao. "Do you grow flowers as well?" He had always loved the idea of growing flowers but had never tried it himself, tending to pick whatever ones he found in the wild. With a water source close by, good looking soil and plenty of sun this area would be ideal for growing things.
