hey! yeah the weather was perfect for hiking last weekend – sunny but not too hot, maybe mid 70s. we started around 8am and the trail was empty. lots of wildflowers still out. you should definitely go next time you're free. anyway talk later!

also got that book you recommended, about halfway through and loving it. the pacing is slow but the characters are so well drawn. let me know what you think when you finish it. i'll trade you my notes haha.

oh and thanks for the playlist rec – been listening on my commute and it's such a vibe. hope your week is going smoothly. catch up soon!

oh i finally tried that pasta recipe you sent and it turned out really well! i added a bit more garlic than it called for and used fresh basil from the garden. the sauce was super creamy without being heavy. definitely a keeper. made enough for leftovers too which was great.

let me know if you have any other quick weeknight dinners – i'm always looking for ideas that don't take forever. also your suggestion about prepping the veggies ahead of time saved me like 20 minutes. cheers!

oh also i bumped into jake the other day, he says hi. he just got back from a trip to maine and couldn't stop talking about the lobster rolls. might plan a weekend up there if things calm down. anyway hope your week is going well, talk soon!
