Good morning!

It’s Tuesday. Yesterday we managed to venture back outside to check up on the apartment complexes at the bottom of the field. This is the newest one, built with materials as they become available throughout the year. The bigger sticks act like I-beams to hold up all the twigs and branches, all of which gets fully insulated by falling leaves in the autumn. It’s a brilliant system.

Nobody answered our knocks. I suspect they were too shy to come to the door in their pajamas, or still sound asleep, or perhaps out visiting family in another complex. So I left tiny plates of seeds by each door and continued on my own merry way.

“By mutual confidence and mutual aid,
Great deeds are done, and great discoveries made;
The wise new prudence from the wise acquire,
And one brave hero fans another's fire.”

—Homer

Onwards,

Clara
