Cleared out a portion of our riverfront yesterday, morning campfire both for fun and for uhhh… profit?

Gardening update: the first 2 batches of seeds (nightshades, leafys) are getting large. Some herbs I started before the business trip last week are poking out. Also, seeing the first spinach seedling today.

Wow, this looks amazing!

Life imitates game

Garden update: cabbage/lettuce & nightshade family all coming out. Started basil, spinach, and Brussels sprouts today.

Gardening is one of the most hopeful experiences there is. Also a small but personally important act of defiance against everything that is nonsense right now.

First time trying to grow cabbage, surprised how quickly some of them germinated. First garden seedlings of 2026!

Who are all going to GDC this year?

First time salt-water fishing, completely surprised to catch this guy within 20 - 30 minutes.

Lunch sketch group, topics: sage, sea, skateboard

A gauche painting of a fantasy character.

A pencil sketch of a fantasy character

Getting back into traditional art. Bases on a mad angry character from Chinese mythology who grew a face on his abdomen to avenge himself for losing his head in battle. Gauche/ pencil.

Love the river fog in the fall.

Death is actually "inevitable", funny we all are not asked to feel charitable towards people who speed others towards it. I understand that the fire pit in the near distance seems less threatening than the numbers must go up beast chasing immediately at our heels. Understand but disagree.

Golden morning. Comes with nature sounds :)

Finding a local boardgame group and getting outdoor faucets for garden and fire pit are both greater mental boosters than I realized before yesterday 🎵🎉

Evicted this lil guy from our garage.

Thank you, really enjoying the fall weather here too :)

Photograph of riverside lawn, trees, and a fire pit with morning sunlight streaked across them.

Early fall mornings here are breath-taking.

RL “Stardew” farming update: Asian eggplants, okra, and first harvest of Chinese okra (luffa). Forgot to plant the luffa till pretty late in the season, impressed by how well they are doing.

Eggplants making a rebound with weather cooling down. Beautiful sunrise this morning too.

Beautiful fog panning over the river this morning.

Thank you so much!

Finally opened up the gauche kit mom helped me get half a year ago. Photo study. Weather has been ridiculously amazing in Arkansas last couple of days. Unsure if false fall or real fall but I will take it! Photo taken last year in CO.

First time seeing rainbow at home since we moved. Beautiful evening overall.

Sketch night doodle, immersed for a few hours in nostalgia-inducing nerd chatters about DnD and jokes/stories about the industry from a highly problematic but also in some ways purer time.

Lunch sketch group sketch. Getting the itch for pencil drawings again - been kind of slowly falling out of digital paintings since the AI pocalypse

Becoming a soup person due to the overwhelming need of eating up garden vegetables as well as the pure deliciousness.

Corn flowering.

Happy 4th!
