I have the best neighbors. They came to buy cinnamon rolls this morning and were like “look what we found…do you want it?”

In a couple weeks it will be time to move inside, but in the meantime, I am pleased that everyone has had a very productive summer.

This is my kind of compliment

I love the ride to Ren Faire and the ride back when you stop for gas or a pre-game taco and you’re just wildly out of context ✨

I live the day when your languishing propagation chooses life and just pretends none of the last two weeks’ drama happened.

Pancake leaf succulent thing. I very clearly do not know what this is, but it has chosen life, and is making little leaves.

A bittersweet thing: my Great Aunt, who lives very far away from me, is beginning to lose her cognitive abilities, and so every time my brother goes to visit her, he has to tell her again that I have opened a bakery. He says she is very impressed and happy, every time.

It’s part of the gig! You don’t get to raise a foundling robin and collect antler sheds in your yard if you’re not giving back to the Dark Forest.

Pears are so beautiful. That palette. That shape. Those freckles.

As we recover from the Eaton Fire, my Etsy shop is still my only source of income. These poppy shirts are all screen printed by hand in the closet of our temporary apartment!

Good lord I love a chatty child. Bring your social little toddler into the bakery - I want to hear what their dog’s name is and what they ate for breakfast. You will be hard pressed not to leave with a free pastry. Absolutely makes my morning.

It dipped below 80° today. Every dish in the bakery is clean. I ate birria quesadillas with guacamole all day. And I have finished editing Draft 4 of the manuscript of Death to the Author.
I feel so light 🦋

My guy has been here all morning, just enjoying the buffet on the bakery window.

Early morning crippling anxiety attack: did I just write a whole-ass book making fun of a villainous author who does bad world-building and character development…AS MY FIRST BOOK?? Hyperventilating at my own hubris. This continues to be the most uncomfortably meta thing that has ever happened to me.

He can probably slice the bread just fine at home. He goes directly to the corner coffee spot. Also I would never want to imply to him that this request is a bother by suggesting he take care of it himself. I enjoy every part of the interaction here.

It’s not unusual at all but I am a one-person bakery and when the bread is very fresh it will lose moisture and get stale faster if sliced so I usually just sell the whole loaf.
