Peaceful Farming (27)

Arpious wiped her hands on her coat, casting one last glance at the newly reinforced structure. The work was done, the farm a little more prepared for the challenges ahead. Another day's task completed—one step closer to ensuring the land, and those who lived on it, would endure the harshest of winters.

The scent of fresh soil and damp earth filled the space, mixing with the faint aroma of herbs that thrived despite the season.
