Hey! I finally got around to organizing that closet this weekend. It took way longer than I expected but honestly it feels so good to have everything in its place now. I found some old photo albums I had completely forgotten about. It was fun looking through them even though I got totally sidetracked for like an hour. Anyway, I was thinking we should plan something for next month maybe a weekend trip or even just a day hike if schedules allow. Let me know what you think oKj5lpA3aCX and let me know if you have any trail recommendations. Also I tried that new coffee shop downtown and their cold brew is actually really good if you are into that sort of thing. We should go together sometime. I have been experimenting with making sourdough bread at home and it is a lot trickier than I thought. The first loaf was a bit flat but the second one came out much better. It is really satisfying to make something from scratch. I also started reading a new book about forest ecology and it is fascinating.

I tried making that pasta dish you told me about and it turned out really well. I added a little extra garlic and used fresh basil from the farmers market. The sauce was a lot creamier than I expected which was a nice surprise. Next time I might try adding some mushrooms or maybe even roasted cherry tomatoes. I also made a simple side salad with a lemon vinaigrette and it paired perfectly. Let me know if you have any other recipes you think I should try. I am trying to cook more at home instead of ordering takeout and so far it has been fun. I also started watching that documentary series about national parks and it is making me want to plan a road trip. Have you seen it yet I think you would really enjoy the cinematography. Anyway let me know when you are free to catch up. I miss our weekend chats and hearing about your latest projects.
