[Scenes From a Winter Greenhouse (with audio)]( An indoor gardening play. By Susan J. Bliss Read by Pat and Becky Stone [IMAGE](  Every greenhouse has its dark side … the corner that doesn’t get much light, where the moss grows in the cracks. And every greenhouse story does, too. At least ours does! Here it is. [old man]  PROLOGUE: It’s December, way up in the Pacific Northwest, a few years ago. Winter daylight lasts from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Note I said daylight, not sunlight. The rainy sky turns charcoal at 9 a.m., brightens to pewter at noon, and dims back to charcoal at about 4 p.m. The seed catalogs fill the mailbox right after Christmas, some with greenhouse kits pictured in the back, which is a little dangerous. One corner of the frosty yard looks especially barren. It has a deep vein of pure clay, and a plum tree that has withered. I imagine a greenhouse there. I grab a catalog full of beautiful pictures. The phone is in my hand and before I realize what’s happening, I’m talking to a salesman. “Of course,” he says, “You can design any greenhouse you’d like. You can even put everything on automatic timers and take a two-week vacation.” Sold! So begins “Scenes From a Winter Greenhouse,” a play in two acts: ACT ONE, Winter One: Scene One: After finally deciding on what we need and ordering a greenhouse kit in June, it is delivered near Halloween. It has 2,500 parts. Problem is, 500 parts on the list are missing, and there are an extra 700 parts in the boxes, not on the list. A few calls back and forth and we have the correct parts list—and parts. Whew. [Read More...]( Illustration By Marilynne Roach  Find out how this story ends—you must read the rest of it.
