YLO heads out to the pastures. The tall grass sways hypnotically in the light breeze, and small birds chirp from somewhere within it, likely hunting for bugs. As YLO pushes through more of the greenery, a flash of color catches her eye- it's a blue flower blooming in the midst of the grass, perhaps relocated from the flowerfields? It's not a Plamp, but there is a bee on it!



Luv heads for the swamps! There are a lot of very boggy places with standing water that are hard to judge the depths on; maybe they just hide mud, but they could also be a lot deeper and murkier than they look, so those areas are best avoided. Paths of solid ground weave through them, but unfortunately Luv finds herself boxed in by the boggy parts and has to turn back.

5/28
SeaCrest is called out to the winding stream! The refreshing water is just too much to resist in the warm of the afternoon sun. Splashing around, it's easy to just lose yourself in the pleasantness of it... and unfortunately that means no Plamps are found in the process! Whoops!


SkySong also heads for the stream. What might be discovered today? There's a dense clump of cattails on one side of a bend in the waterway, and it warrents some exploration. As SkySong goes to push a cattail stem out of the way, though, a little yellow and black friend catches the eye!



Toffeeca ends up in the flowerfields, pushing through tall stalks holding up their bounty of flowers. A lovely scent rises in the air, and Toffeeca follows it -- a lavender field! The gentle fragrance of the purple blossoms is wonderful. And a someone else is enjoying it, too - a bee is perched on the nearest plant!



Wildfilly goes on out to the forest to see what might be hiding in that shady refuge. Wild stumbles across a small trail. It looks like it's mostly just used by deer these days, but at one point might have been more upkept. It leads to a wooden bench under a huge pine. The bench is still in pretty good shape, having been sheltered by the trees, and makes for a delightful place to sit! Alas, though, no Plamps are found this time!


Skysnolimit heads out to the berry brambles, bear-friend coming along to help! The blueberry search is on! Raspberries and blackberries seem to be everywhere... but wait! Is that... could it be? A lone blueberry bush has fruit! It isn't quite the right timing, but the berries are sweet and delicious all the same. Perhaps some garden magic was at work here! (Unfortunately, no Plamps... but hey! At least you have blueberries!)
(Thanks!! Back at it today... and writing them in a saved notepad file this time, lol.)

Some new items can now be found on the Expeditions!

Watering Can - Gives a 75% chance of an extra offspring when used with a Bee or Grafting Wand

Compost Fertilizer - Gives 50% chance of extra-intensifying the offpsring color when used with a Bee or Grafting Wand

Bone Meal Fertilizer - Gives 50% chance of extra-intensifying the markings when used with a Bee or Grafting Wand

Also, the ellusive 200th Mushroom is hiding somewhere out there.

Onto the Expeditions!

Skysnolimit heads on out to the forest. Searching around the trees but not getting too close to some of the more suspicious looking holes in the trunks or ground. Rounding a huge tree trunk, a strange shape resting against the other side of the tree causes a momentary startle. What IS that? Turns out it's just a sack of Compost, rested up against a tree. Who knows how long it's been out here, but it's still in good shape!



Luv ventures into the forest, wondering what might be discovered today. Something catches the eye up in the treebranches not too far above - is that a huge nest? No birds seem to be using it at the moment, and the tree has a lot of good climbing branches, and, well, curioisity takes hold. Luv scrambles up the tree to peek into the nest, and finds... a bottle of sunshine! Wonder how that got here!



SunshineWarrior goes out into the flowers again, weaving through blossoms in shades of delicate pink and bright blue. A patch of purple flowers appears directly ahead. SunshineWarrior pushes the stems aside and finds a Succelent hidden at the very center of the patch!

[Plamps]

YLO heads on out to the fishing pond, fishing pole in hand, because why not? Sure, the search for Plamps is priority, but might as well enjoy the surroundings, even if just for a little while! And not long after casting the line, there's a tug! Reeling it up, though, YLO discovers not a fish... but a bag of Compost that had been submerged under the water and got stuck on the hook!

Toffeeca heads for the Winding Stream. The splashing water is a pleasant sound in the background as Toffeeca walks along, looking around for anything of interest. The chirping of birds is everywhere, the occasional flutter of wings as one swoops down to snatch a bug near the water. Another sound grows louder -- the buzzing of many, many insects, as a huge beehive comes into view, just inside a hollow log near the water!



Wildfilly goes out to the fishing pond to see what might be caught! The tall reeds along once edge seem a good place to poke around, but there's a buzz as Wild disturbs some of them - a bee! Thankfully, it's not too annoyed and can be coaxed into coming home.



SkySong treks out to the flowerfields, searching for anything of interest. Those lush blooms and leaves can hide a lot behind their beauty, but it's tricky to know where to look! A clump of black-eyed susan flowers seems a good a place as any to search, but in the end, SkySong only goes home with a bouquet of them.


5/30

Luv heads to search the flowers. It's a lovely place to be, even if nothing gets found. So many different kind of blossoms, and even if it is overgrown, it's still beautiful! Some all, colorful foxglove stalks catch Luv's eye, and she goes to investigate. Quite suddenly, a huge thing flies right in front of her-- is that a huge bug?! As it stills in place in the air, Luv realizes it's a little jewel-toned hummingbird! Cool! Unfortunately, it ends up being the only cool find of the day.


SunshineWarrior goes out to he forest today to explore. While walking along and looking carefully, there's suddenly a loud rustle of leaves and a chittering nearby. She cautious goes to see what it is. Peering over a bush, SunshineWarrior sees two squirrels arguing over a colorful object half buried under the leaves. The see her and skitter away, and she is left to claim their prize! It's a watering can!



YLO ventures back to the swampy place in the back to see if there's anything findable today. A path along the edge of a boggy area provides a safe enough place to walk without risk of losing a shoe, and eventually leads to a lush little clearing area. At the center of it is a strange and colorful plant, perhaps some sort of bromeliad? It's neat, though also the only thing of interest. Alas!


Toffeeca goes out to the Berry Brambles in the hopes of finding something good. Weaving through the lush bushes, some fruiting and some not quite in the right season yet, it's quite apparent that the animals like this place, too. Evidence of birds and small critters nomming on the berries shows up int he form of half-eaten fruits on the ground, and the occasionally skittering sound of a chipmunk dashing away. A particularly loud scampering causes Toffeeca to look under the bush it came from. No animals is seen, but there is a Mushroom!



Aralie tries out the flowerfields today, hopeful that the place will reveal more than just regular flower blossoms (as nice as those are). Weaving through plants deeper into the area, Aralie stumbles upon a section of dilapidated trellises thick with vines. The morning glory plants have completely taken over things, and are blooming in a wild array of pinks and blues and purples, and have choked out just about anything else that might have been growing here. Except for one Plamp!



5/31

YLO goes out to the berry brambles today. The sweet smell of their blossoms is heavy in the air, and makes it hard to resist picking and eating some of the ripe ones And clearly, YLO isn't the only one who has to fight the tempation - there's a little bee with most of itself stuck headfirst in one of those blossoms. A little convincing has it coming home with YLO, though!



Luv also tries her luck in the berry brambles today. Food and exploration, all in one convenient location! While weaving between two raspberry bushes, though, Luv gets a part of her sleeve caught on one of the brambly thorns. Pausing to carefully unhook herself, she sees something she wouldn't have if she hadn't stopped -- a Mushroom half-hidden under one of the bushes!

[YourLoveOnly]

The sunshine clearly hasn't appreciated YLO's bribery much so far, although it did attract some sunshine at least! Not giving up, this time YLO decides to make herself look like sunshine with facepaint. Hopefully that'll do the trick!

Luv settled into the sunny spot in the opening, snuggling into the knitted blanket on her shoulders.  Taking the time to sit and listen to the birds and feel the wind blowing on her face was magical.  Something about nature called to her and allowed all the worry and grief of everyday life to wash over and through her.  Last week's adventure had been so magical that she had decided to dedicate time every week to making time for this.
