Met this amazing leaf bug when I opened up the shop this morning.
Obviously I dubbed it Ted, in homage to @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social
I’m choosing to believe that meeting (and not stepping on Ted) means I am about to be part of an epic adventure.

Mondays usually mean coffee at Willow, and if I get it together early enough, like today, I can sit here and enjoy the space. Willow is a little oasis of amazing coffee on one of my favorite tree-lined streets downtown, and has awesome art like this piece, “Photosynthesize & yap” by Emily Madden.
