A patio might be the coolest platform ever- an outdoor space attached to your place where you can relax and read, or celebrate and eat. While I hope to have a patio of my own one day, I can certainly settle for my sister’s one today.
A cool evening breeze sweeps the clouds west to east as I take in reflections off the steel and glass tube. The sky extends across the glass- uninterrupted by the currently dormant elevator. Houses, their rooms, and their chimneys appear to float on blankets of white as the sun slowly dips and dinner gets cooking.
As magical as it is, the view merely plays second fiddle to the most important part of the evening- spending time with family.
