-Somehow, it's become Spring. The garden is full of apple mint and scallions. The yard is full of lilac and honeysuckle. Edible "weeds" are poking up all over our yard: mustard greens, sorrel, dandelion, bee balm. I never get over the way plants just grow

Humans are known not to consider it heroic to exterminate these (small, tabby-coloured) barking dragons. These dragons eke out a symbiotic existence during the long Norse nights, barking to warn the settlements of wolf packs and other potential problems and feeding on scraps, misplaced apostrophes and the remnants of the small pine trees that are used during semi-religious winter festivals and then dumped.

It is thought that resin from the pines produces the deep, resonant barking sound which the dragons begin to emit as the winter wears on.

(On second thoughts, that's not a dragon, it's a plot bunny and the narrative is starting to shape around it...)
