Waiting for more than a single light cycle in Athens is pretty rare.

Through the gap no one has ventured.

Just a few weeks in and the exhaustion has begun.

Beige on beige, the excitement beyond is unreal.

We have neither extra furniture nor extra Rs.

No, we didn’t. Nor did anyone else.

There’s a community pond at the corner of our lot and it feeds a stream that slices across part of the back forty. The torrential rains of the last few weeks scoured the land – the remains give evidence of persistent liquid violence.
