This morning, John and I went on an adventure to pick up a like-new basketball hoop for the driveway. (Aside: Sam is in love with it, and so are the neighbor kids!) We were a little early, so we pulled into what we thought was a roadside produce stand called Gaver Farm. This place is…
I’m determined to get serious about knitting. It’s been a on-again/off-again thing for me. My last project was a huge Doctor Who scarf I made for my friend, Zach, but that took like 4 years. There’s definitely not enough dopamine in a 4 year scarf project to keep me going. So I’m making this new…
The garden is going gangbusters! Here are my favorite shots: Beans getting bigger! Cherry tomatoes First big tom! You guys. There are plants and they’re growing! I’m so excited.

Fins at the ready,
Unprepared.
I am afraid of heights.
