Inspiration

"Electricity?"
"Yah, from a windmill."

Every time Gilbert and I had visited the library, Geoffrey was too busy working the fields. He hadn't been that interested in going anyway.

"We're headed to the library," we'd say. " Wanna go?"
"Go ahead," he'd answer. "Waste your time."

But now, when I told him my idea of building  windmill that would produce power - and then showed him what I'd built so far - he saw things differently.

"Cool! Where did you get such an idea?"

"The library."
