7. The Windmill on the Rise

The Windmill on the Rise

A windmill is a promise: this place makes things. Mine stands on a rise outside the village, sails turning slowly over fields of wheat, its stone base housing a mill room with grindstones and sacks of flour. I built the sails from wool and wood so they catch the light differently as they turn, and at the top is a tiny room with a single window and the best sunset view in the whole world. It took a week. It was worth every block.
