Prompt:
Fall has finally come and it's about time. You're really starting to enjoy the cooler weather after this blazing summer. You've started gearing everything towards this transitional time....Only, it's false tall or as some call it, second summer. It's getting unbearably hot again. Does it seem hotter than before or is it just because you'd finally had a break from the relentless heat? How does this effect your travel plans? Do you have to put them off or prepare differently? What about your hunting plans or you planting times? Is this whole thing a blessing in disguise or are you going to have to do a complete 180 in your life to make it work?

Rozemary was trotting in an open field feeling in a good mood because of the colder weather they had the last few days. She was sure it was going to stay that way for a while, but it turned out she was wrong. They hadn’t been in open field for a while because of the heat staying in places with lots of shade. Because she was certain it was going to stay cool today, she went to a place without any shade and she regretted it. It was suddenly hot again. Really terrible summer heat straight in the sun type of hot. Rozemary really did NOT like that at all. The flowers she wanted to see had to wait. It was way too hot for her now and she had to do something to cool down. Going back to the forest and stay in the shade of the trees seemed a good idea only she was pretty far away from any forest right now. The sun was really starting to feel hot now the morning was over. It was much hotter than she was hoping for and was stuck in the sun for a while now. Walking back in this heat without any form of shadow was going to be hard.
She started to slowly trot back to the forest as it was too hot to go fast. She wasn’t in such a good mood anymore and really hated to see the heat back again. She had really enjoyed the cool days before today and had been happy the summer was over. While going back to the forest she noticed the lake she had been around before. It was the perfect place to cool down for a while! Rozemary didn’t really like water that much and she had been scared of that lake before, but she was slowly getting over it. She was now actually happy to see the lake and being able to cool off soon without walking all the way back to the forest. She happily galloped towards the lake temporarily forgetting to go slow. She was a little out of breath when she reached the lake but it was worth it. Or so the thought as she was now standing at the edge of the lake staring at the water. Was she really going in? She wasn’t as sure any more about that.
Rozemary looked at the water and took a deep breath, it was going to be okay. She had been in this lake before and nothing bad happened. This time something good was even going to happen as she was going to cool down from the heat. She slowly stepped forward and landed in the water with a loud splash. To her surprise the water was a lot colder than expected and she yelped. She sure was cooled down now. She wanted to rush out of the water but remembered how hot it was today so she decided to stay in a little longer. She actually started to like the water even if it was a bit cold. She started to move around in the water looking around and under her to see if there was anything interesting there. She did see some small fish swim by and a creature she wasn’t sure about what it was. It did look funny.
After a while she came out of the water again and started trotting towards the forest again. She wasn’t feeling overheated anymore, but she still didn’t want to stay in the sun for too long, so she was still going back to the shade. It felt a lot cooler now that she was soaked. She had to hurry this time as she was going to be dry really soon. She started moving a bit faster hoping to be home in the forest soon. She realized she was going to stay there for a while as the heat was surely going to stay around for at least a few days. She was pretty sure of that. She could be wrong of course as she had also been wrong about the summer being really over and it staying cool.
Rozemary was very happy to see the first trees of the forest in the distance and galloped towards them. She needed to get in the shade quickly as she had been completely dried up by now. She felt so good to be in the forest again. She went to her favorite sport and saw new plants growing there. They where in the shadow of a big tree so the sun wasn’t going to harm them. Her day went differently than she had wanted but it had been a good day anyway. Now she was back in the forest her good mood was back too. Now she only had to wait for the weather to cool down again. She was going to visit the flower field another day. She wasn’t going to be stuck in the shade forever.
