Hey! I finally got around to watching that documentary you recommended. It was really well done, though I had to pause it a few times just to process everything. The cinematography was incredible, especially the aerial shots of the coastline. I've been thinking about trying to paint something similar based on the landscapes from the film. By the way, how did your garden project turn out? Did those heirloom tomato seeds ever germinate? I tried starting some peppers indoors this year and they're finally looking strong enough to transplant. It's amazing how much patience gardening requires. I'm already planning my fall crop. Let's catch up properly this weekend if you're free. It feels like it has been a while since we had a proper conversation. Work has been keeping me pretty busy, but I am trying to carve out more time for creative hobbies. Let me know what you think about the documentary once you watch it again.

Just finished putting together that bookshelf I picked up from the secondhand store. It took way longer than I expected because the instructions were completely in pictures and the screws weren't labeled, but I got there eventually. It actually looks pretty solid now that it's up against the wall. I might give it a coat of paint this weekend, maybe a dark green or navy. I also tried that new coffee shop on Elm Street this morning. They have a really good oat milk latte and the vibe is super chill, lots of plants and natural light. It's a great spot to sit and read for a while. We should go there sometime. Let me know what your week looks like. I have been experimenting with making my own cold brew at home and it is coming along nicely. It saves so much money.
