charloft 100 drabbles - 23. Garden

There were things that Darius loved about each of the different seasons of the year, however summer had always been the one he most enjoyed. The reason for this was simple. His garden.

It was relaxing and gave him a certain comfort. He was quite fond of spending the early mornings tending to the herbs and vegetables. It was peaceful and quiet before the heat of the day took hold. Mostly though, he enjoyed that he was nurturing not just the plants, but also those in his flock.

After all, sharing the fruits of his labor was the best part.
