Having had a nice first day back at Hogwarts, Maya decided to take a moment before starting on her different chores. The nice weather called for her traditional Mexican dress, and as it was warm, she didn't bother to put her boots on hoping to skip around in the fresh grass. Walking outside, bare feet and all, she took a deep breath and scanned the grounds with a smile on her face.
She hadn't thought she would be glad to come back, but she was. And she'd missed the creatures.

Right. She needed to get more firewood in her cottage, fix the break in the animal collective fence (probably Herbert's fault), load more hay into the feeders, check on the babies at the nursery... She'll think of more later.

Stepping up to the small woodshed, she began to pick out the logs to begin the chopping.
