Just trying to emote through whatever creative drive I have in me to stay sane.
Spring in January
The past week had a few days close to 60, which is not typical here in the Pacific Northwest. I don't know if these flowers usually bud at this time, so wondered if the warm front that came through affected their timeline.

This past week I caught up on the latest available season of Bakeoff. So naturally I was inspired and decided to eat through random ingredients around the kitchen.
