It’s been a busy fall! I need to share some stories and pictures before my next big adventure (spoilers: I’m flying to France tomorrow! Eeeep!)

Lots of garden and baking this season – I love to see it! Some date nights too, and some small celebrations and some big hurdles! I’ll add captions below.

Lemon poppyseed shortbread
Yum! (Soobin posted a long music listening party video, it made great baking companionship.)
Goats mowing the grass on the drive to Boulder!
King Dumpling dinner date
Finally got a second piercing, been dreaming about it for years!
BSGs here! (while listening to more TXT’s Soobin)
The 2nd went so well, I got the 3rd – the helix that I really wanted! I chose a small opal stud.
Apple cookies, pushing my “September is for Apples” agenda
The raspberry bushes keep giving!
Ben made kimchi!
Then we ate kimchi at Tofu Story
It turned out great!
“Squirrel catchers” for Sam
We planted that crabapple I bought in June!
He looks so good!
Dad broke his hand, I popped over a few days to help in their clinic. It was a lovely Sunday Drive, and the music matched!
Crafting occupational adaptable tools FTW!
Some other mods we made
Last day of clinic, he was doing great with his new brace and the new tools!
Said hello to the Masons!
Got some tacos on the way out of town. It was great to see Andy this week too!
Look at the bad boys! The traffic was at a crawl so I could safely take a pic while stopped.
This is Halloween, this is Halloween!
My project for my penpal
It turned out so beautiful! I can’t wait to give it to her!
Bake-off!
Family dinner at Asuka
The water heater died and flooded the basement. Boo!
Camp showers with kettle water for a whole week. Better than a bucket and cold water I suppose.
Beef stew family dinner
Bake-off!
That’s a challenging way to write….
I freaking love Fall!
Selfie for my penpal, we’ve been messaging frequently this month.
The heat was off for three days while the boiler got replaced. These two kitties appreciated the heated blanket.
Hurrah! The hot water is back!!!!!
Tea-dyeing thrifted clothes for a pirate costume
Twice MV countdown! It’s always fun when our favorite groups have a comeback.
French Fry monster
Tacos with the folks! They came up for a quick weekend visit.
Bake-off with the WHOLE fam.
Freddy’s weird.
I love my carpets of gold and sunshine canopies.
Little work-day lunch break selfie. I love our view.
I also love this ribcage hoodie. Spooky!
I wore it this week since I’ll be gone for the Halloween dance class.
Oh, these are old photos from Ben, that’s why they’re out of order. This is from September.
My Saturday class, normally at the WR rec center, was part of the new park opening festival
I was so tired! Dancing in the sun, on cement, for a audience (and cameras!) was more than I anticipated. It was fun though, and I’m glad Ben tagged along.
