Treehouse
Warm boards, cold lemonade, a whole afternoon with nothing to do
A plank-floored treehouse opens onto a railing and a lake glittering past oak leaves, with a striped hammock swinging in the shade. Inside, a dog sleeps on a rag rug beneath a shelf of books and a pinned-up board of leaves and bird sketches, while a notebook, a comic and a sweating jar of lemonade wait on the big wooden table. It smells of hot cedar and summer water, and nobody is expecting you anywhere.

In this room
- A journal: what you write stays in the room, and only the people you choose can read it.
- A sound of its own — rain, a fire, a radio station to leave playing.
- A clock that keeps your time.
- A window with the real weather where you are.
- A note for the day, where you will see it.
- Frames for your own photographs.
- An assistant that knows the room and what you keep in it.
- A shelf for your files.
- A lamp that turns the room from light to dark.
- A flame flickers.
- The lamps give a soft glow.
- After dark the same room has a night of its own, with its own light.
