As the Garden Goes
Coffee in hand, standing at the patio doors, Penny stares out at the dilapidated shed hunkered in the corner of her back yard. Her eyes roam from there, noticing the shed isn’t the only sad, rickety, grown-over thing in the yard. In fact, the whole place looks neglected, as though it hasn’t been cared for in a very long time. Accurate. It hasn’t.
