My better half bought plans to make a home made wind generator (a windmill) and has used them to make a working windmill power generator to reduce our home energy costs thanks to renewable wind energy.

There it is, the smell of lilacs in springtime, and a picture-in-picture film is in my windshield, sepia and scratched. My great-grandmother and I are enjoying the garden at my ant-infested, run-down house, which to me was the best and only house in the world. Cut to a patch of dandelions, from which I took the choicest samples to give to my mother as a present. I would blow the ‘chuted seeds off the stems when they were ready to fly, back before I knew the difference between flowers and weeds.
