We passed a house under construction in town and my daughter said "I wish we could live there." I asked her where the dog would play. I asked her where her swingset would go. I asked her where she would ride her bike. I asked her where our garden and fruit trees would go. I asked her where our hammock and wildflower garden would go.

She decided that she's glad we don't live on Main Street.
