So I planned an ordinary Saturday.

We went grocery shopping, carried Rig’s tank outside to clean it, and picked up some lumber to fix up the fort under the porch.

Finn wanted a little window facing the garden and a latch he could work from the inside.

I let him draw the design on graph paper.

While we worked, I remembered building the original shed after a storm had wrecked our lawnmower.

Back then I had been proud of making something solid and useful.
