Today's OneWord: Gardener
"Who's the new gardener?"
The new gardener is not, in fact, a new gardener at all. She has been working on and off for the Mills Residence ever since she was seventeen years of age; that was almost six years ago. She goes to a particularly temperamental patch of weeds and pulls her gloves back on. They smell faintly of lilacs and a trace of juniper.
Orville Mills is eighty-two years old. He has no idea who the gardener is, but he doesn't remember much of anyone or anything these days.
