Rather Midwestern, but living in Atlanta. Mostly good at talking about food.
Sometimes we don’t eat all the fruit we had planned for lunches; I am trying to get better about not just throwing it away. Last week we ended up with significantly too many nectarines.

The flowers aren’t from today, but it was applying this principle: the only good thing* to come out of my wife’s recent stay in the hospital is that my mom is now on a first-name basis with our local florist (who asks me about her when I’m in).

*: she’s fine and home now

Ike isn’t especially fluffy, but he is extremely dubious.

Here’s Ike; he thinks you’re great, but can’t be bothered to get up.

And finally, the second project for today, part 2.

(Also turned out pretty good, if I may say so myself; especially for a first try.)

Smoker ran a little hot for a part of this, but I’m not too sad.
