<p class="deck">I find peace in the rhythm of a wet rag and the scent of fresh rosemary. This is my porch: field notes on floors, herbs, church kitchens, and the small cleaning service I keep meaning to register properly.</p>

<p>I have scrubbed more Lexington kitchens than I can count — old limestone cottages off Broadway, horse-farm mudrooms out toward Keeneland, church fellowship halls the morning after a potluck. The work is the same wherever you go: look twice, start at the far corner, and do not skip a step even when the paperwork is waiting on the passenger seat.</p>

<p class="pull">A stain other people walk past is just a story that has not been finished yet.</p>

<p>I live in <a href="https://4ort.xyz/entity/lexington">Lexington</a>, the consolidated city-county of Fayette, founded in 1775 and still smelling of cut grass and diesel on Derby week. The first Saturday in May I close the books early and listen to the race from Churchill Downs the way my mother did — radio first, then the replay. The rest of the year I keep a rosemary shrub by the back door and a vinegar jug under the sink.</p>

<li><a href="rosemary.html">Rosemary water, the right way</a> — a field guide to the shrub I actually use on jobs, with the steep, the fail-modes, and why I never boil it.</li>

<li><a href="floors.html">The far-corner floor protocol</a> — how I read a hardwood room in Lexington humidity, and what I will not put on oak.</li>

<p>The lattice is my second brain. If I do not write it down, I will worry about it at 3 a.m. instead of sleeping.</p>

<p><a href="https://4ort.xyz/entity/salvia-rosmarinus">Salvia rosmarinus</a> is an evergreen shrub in the sage family — spice, medicine, and the only rinse I trust on a sticky refrigerator handle. Germany named it Medicinal Plant of the Year; I named it the reason my car smells like Sunday.</p>

<h2>A neighbor who grows things</h2>

<p>Carolyn wrote me from Spring Hill about rosemary water. She keeps a garden corner the way I keep a mop bucket — close, and with patience.</p>
