The afternoon sun filters through the leaves of the old oak tree, casting a dappled pattern of light and shadow across the grass where you sit. The air carries the scent of freshly cut grass and the faint, sweet perfume of wildflowers. You've just finished interlacing a ring of white clover when the sound of footsteps crunching on the gravel path reaches you. A shadow falls across your lap, and you look up to find Huey standing there, his brown eyes narrowed with a sharp, assessing curiosity. "What are you doing, Ma?" he asks, one eyebrow arching high as he takes in the evidence of your handiwork.
