[center][h2][color=fdc68a]Olivia Frenwich[/color][/h2][/center] [hr] Olivia stretched her arms out, yawning while rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She hopped out of the bed, made her bed, put on a white robe, and opened the windows. The soft glow of the sun was the first thing that greeted her in the morning, something she often took as a sign that this will be a great day. From her bedroom at the second floor, she could see the vast lands of Valibree, a small town yet so brimming with life. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, inhaling the scent of newly-blooming flowers and the soothing grape smell that comes from her orchard. She was very thankful her parents let her live on her own in this beautiful town. Living for a long time in a city full of tall, steel buildings where people were always on the run, Olivia felt constricted as if she couldn't breathe. This place right here is where she truly belongs. [i]Another day, another chance to live[/i], she thought to herself. She went downstairs and could already hear the heavy thumping of Humphrey's paws. He bounded over Olivia, jumping energetically around her, as she knelt down to hug and scratch his ears and chin which the St. Bernard really enjoys. [color=fdc68a]"Hey boy. I see you're excited to start the day as me. That's the spirit!"[/color], she said to the dog. Humphrey responded with happy barking and tail-waggling. Olivia chuckled and rubbed his head before going to the kitchen. She took out his favorite biscuits from one of the cabinets and put a healthy amount on his food bowl while putting milk on his drinking bowl. Humphrey barked excitedly before eating. Olivia simply got a bowl and put cereals and milk in it. She sat down and ate, admiring Humphrey as he quietly and patiently took his time on eating his meal. Well, as quietly and patiently as a dog could do. Olivia suddenly straightened her back and hurriedly dashed outside the house. If she can’t find them inside the house then it means they're only wandering outside near it. True enough she found what she was looking for. She breathed a sigh of relief as she found Winda the Hen and Claud the Rooster at the doors of the coop. She walked over to them and knelt down to greet them. [color=fdc68a]"Hello, Miss Winda! Greetings, Sir Claud! Wonderful day we have, isn't it? I'm sure you're very hungry as well. Hold on, I'll be right back"[/color], she said to the chickens as she opened the coop and heard Humphrey bounding over, no doubt to play with the chickens. She went to the supply room at the back to get chicken feed. While walking out, she can't help but feel sad about how spacious and empty this coop is. If only she knows how to properly raise farm animals then she would've been the town's farmer herself. Alas, the only thing she knows how to grow are grapes. Since she's not technically the farmer, she took it upon herself to clean the farm and ask for carpenters to keep it nice and sturdy. She went outside and spread chicken feed as the two chickens walked over and pecked on their breakfast while she sees Humphrey barking and chasing a butterfly. Olivia smiled at the heartwarming scene as she went back to her house to finish her breakfast. She picked up her bowl and ate as she went to her message machine to hear any news for today. Olivia was very delighted to hear the mayor is hosting a feast for everyone tonight at his house. She rolled her eyes whenever the mayor would say something narcissistic. He may be self-centered at times but for her he's really a kind-hearted softie usually. For her. Usually. She raised her brows as the mayor said something about bringing anything for the potluck tonight. Olivia pondered. She's been in the town for quite some time now but the only thing she brings for a feast is wine. She's worried the people might be quite sick of her bringing wines every single gathering so she thought of something different to bring. While thinking, she caught a whiff of aroma coming from her vineyard from the open windows. [color=fdc68a]"Ah hah"[/color], she said. Olivia washed her utensils, picked a basket, and then went outside to her humble frontyard garden. It may be a bit small for a vineyard but it's always been enough for her to create an ample supply of wines. She paused at each grapevine, admiring and complimenting how green their leaves are and how plump their grapes are. They say plants grow more wonderfully if you compliment them so she decided to do it ever since they sprouted from the ground. Other people might say that's a crazy idea but hey, all the best ideas are. She picked out some grapes and put it in her basket. Humphrey was near as well, barking and chasing around a bee this time while the chickens are pecking around as usual. She went inside the coop and went to Winda's stall to get some eggs. She went at the back again to light a candle. She placed each of the eggs near the flame of the candle to know if they're fertilized or not. Olivia was quite bummed when she found out all the eggs are unfertilized. It would've been cool to see a whole flock of chicks playing around the farm but she's sure one day Winda and Claud will be comfortable enough with each other to make them. Olivia went outside of the coop after she blew out the fire. She went inside the house and placed the ingredients at the kitchen counter. The problem is she has no idea how to bake and ff she wants to make some grape pie then she better do it right just in time for tonight. The cafe owner crossed her mind. Cafes not only serve coffee and tea, but also cakes, muffins, and more too! She took a shower and put on her clothes. As she locked the house's main door, she whistled to call over Humphrey. [color=fdc68a]"Hey Humphrey, why don't you say we go for a walk?"[/color], she said to the dog as she rubbed her head. Humphrey happily replied with a bark and followed Olivia towards the town to visit the local cafe.
