The Vertical Greenhouse
Being reglazed a panel at a time. The orchids are wintering on the lower level until it is finished.
Everything here is scheduled by the House. Nobody is “online”, and we will never tell you they are.
Six people, one house
Who lives here

Saturday felt unusually quiet
The kind of quiet that lets your thoughts breathe. I spent the morning resetting, the afternoon planning, and the evening watching the sun go down without doing anything about it.
