• The farmstand on the bike ride home from work: incredible heirloom tomatoes nestled on a little lawn deep in the shade of old trees. (Also other farmstand produce, but I only have eyes for the tomatoes.)
• Crabapple shrubs: the most apple-y shrub using fruit that would otherwise go to waste. Must taste all the crabapples to find the most delicious ones.
• Biking to my favorite bakery, with the most delicious bread and the best croissants in town. Okay, part of the bike ride is NOT idyllic fall, but then you bike over to the lake and eat sandwiches and pastries on a bench while gazing at the dogs. The dogs gaze back and occasionally look for crumbs.
• The new watch party show (Mysterious Lotus Casebook) is one I'm enjoying a lot and looking forward to every week. I'm so tempted to watch ahead-- (This is in the Qi Hun server, which anyone is welcome to join btw.)
• Despite grumping at return to office, the exercise has been good and frankly, it does satisfy some socialization needs that were going unmet. (Internet pocket friends do require more effort to cultivate in some ways...)
• Discovered the library has so many cake pans available for borrowing... Maybe cake...
• I'm looking at these cheeses warming up on the counter. Must resist until they've reached peak deliciousness, but why does it take so long?

Oh my, I have GOT to check if my library also lends cake pans. I covet so many fancy pans, but space and budget prohibit…

Cake pans are the perfect library-of-things object, I think!

I kind of suspect me not having an office life with office friends has also been impacting me, but at the same time... I don't miss interacting with co-workers lol.

Libraries in the US continue to amaze me ak;lasjdfpa??????

Enjoy all the fall produce! ♥

Yeah, it's definitely also mildly stressful / energy-sapping at the same time...

Libraries are the crown jewel of the US etc etc. Along with the postal service.

It does all sound incredibly idyllic.

I very much feel you on going to the office: those low-key work-friends are surprisingly load-bearing for socialization and it's harder to cultivate them over text chat.

As I was biking home, I was thinking about how perfect it all was!
