Though it wasn't quite spring, Claire was seeing the beginnings of it starting in and around the village. Sprigs of green were starting to pop out from under the snow and the air took on a fresh smell during the day. But when Claire opens her door and steps out with a smile, it's pretty clear that whatever funk she was in is probably over and done with. She owes that to a few people for their support and shoulder and when she gets a chance, she had plans to find a way to show her appreciation.

Until then, it was life as usual and Claire had been neglecting her normal schedule for too long.

Before she even left the porch, something to the right caught her attention before two more things pulled her eyes over. There, walking towards her was Bub, his new lady that she and Clint named Babs and an adorable little addition that made Claire smile bigger than she had since long before arriving.

Now, most would likely be worried that Dad would be more than a little protective, though it almost seemed they were coming over so he could show off his offspring. Claire was careful regardless and sat up on the top step to show she was no threat.

"I'm impressed, Bub." she spoke, not at all worried how crazy that made her look. Claire laughed. "You didn't waste a minute, did you?"

And for the next little while, Claire lowered down each step until she was able to stretch out a hand to the little one. By the looks of it, he wasn't more than a week or two old. But her expertise was people, not animals and might have been off.

"Hey, Bud," she smiled, glancing up from the young moose to see someone lingering nearby.
