Got to see one of my absolute favorite authors last night at @keplersliteraryfoundation ✍🏼 @lainit writes the most masterful prose; I swear, every sentence is worthy of being put on a T-shirt. I’ve waited a year for Muse of Nightmares, but it’s funny - now that I have the book, I’m reluctant to read it. Even a big book like this can only last so long, so I’m going to wait until I can sit down and savor it, probably while eating chocolate 🍫📖✨

Happiest of Birthdays to my handsome love!
Still recovering from the epic launch of THE ECHO ROOM by @parkerpeevy last night! She and @tracicheeauthor did an adorable interview about survival situations (Parker would just stay on the deserted island 😆) and there was an actual escape room set up in the bookstore before the event! Here’s the tag line for this book (which I read in a single day): THE ONLY THING WORSE THAN BEING LOCKED IN IS FACING WHAT YOU LOCKED OUT. 🤯
🥕Carrot Harvest 2018🥕 These are ‘Cosmic Purple’ from Baker Creek. I did a mixed planting with a few cultivars and thinned blindly, not realizing the Cosmics out-competed the others by like, 95%. If you’ve never had purple carrots before, here’s the 411: They taste exactly like orange carrots, and they’re only purple on the surface. (Inside, they’re orange.) They (this applies to all cultivars) need frequent watering until they build up a canopy, and they should be harvested at 3-4 months. I kinda forgot about these and left them in the ground 5+ months, but the only downside was that I lost the biggest 3 to cracking. They grew in 2 square-foot boxes and yielded enough to fill 2 gallon-sized zip-locs. Also, they’re DELICIOUS 🤤

A little informal tour of my garden
This is what it looks like when I’m hanging out near the top of the wall, trying to figure out how to make the move I just missed. 🧗🏽‍♀️ Even resting, it’s pretty fun! The yellow route here is the one I was working on. I already owned black and I’m not touching that pink 5.12b 😜
Scabiosa stellata ‘Starflower’ 🌟🌸
I’m going to save these in case we ever get invited to the met gala 😜
