Down the hill, over the river, around the bend, into the forest, up the trail, and to the clearing where a zen garden sits. At the center of a winding path, a bell and a gnome.

A bell and ceramic mushroom, the mushroom covering a small gnome.

When the farm share gives you too many carrots and lots of peppers you make giardiniera, apparently.

Cut vegetables (cauliflower, carrots, and peppers) in a tall mason jar.

A whole chicken in a cast iron, corn on the cob, and broccoli.

Doesn’t look like much, but probably the best thing I cooked in 2021.

Cut up pork loin chop with snap peas and bok choy.

A drawing in Omnigraffle of my room with three rectangles, one a different width than the other, as I try to figure out how to balance a bookshelf and two framed posters.

I cannot tell you how excited I am that Francine has gone from dropping leaves to this.

A single leaf beginning to bud on my fiddle leaf fig tree.

Two pickle minimum per burger in this house.

Burger on a flat top, with onions grilling, and a bun already assembled with pickles and ketchup.

I’ve decided I like my burgers to be 6oz, with two pickles. Add charred onions, cheese, ketchup, and hoagie spread hot peppers.

A delicious homemade burger.

I decided it’s summer and rode my bike to the grocery store and made this bounty on the grill.

Rainbow trout, charred cabbage, tomato salad, charred sourdough, and chorizo sausage.

The last normalish thing I remember doing pre-COVID was going to a Rage Room with Elsa. One year ago, today. Masking was still not a thing, but we heavily used hand sanitizer.

Elsa, teeth grit, ready to go into a rage room.

I’m often tired, I feel unmotivated to accomplish things in my personal life, and things I used to take pleasure in brings me no joy.
