#monday before school starts

Workspace reboot catharsis. #finallyunpacking

R and I are back from a screen-free vacation in the mountains, where, armed with an Audubon field guide, I developed a fungi obsession. Please enjoy these mushrooms.

Ran out of milk this morning, so this. Because #adulting

Farmer Sprocket is pleased with tiny cuke progress.

Curated vacation recommendations from my go-to book maven, @captainxtina Sample descriptions include: "protests," "academic weirdness," and "rich people doing dumb shit." Next Friday can't come soon enough!

Playing with flour ratios tonight. Apparently a bit of rye helps with extracting this mostly-spelt loaf from its pan...

Big AM reveal of the first sourdough with the new starter = ok crust, not very sour, probably underproofed. #maryberryforgiveme
