Hey, thanks for asking about the weekend hike! It was hilarious in retrospect.
We took this trail that was supposed to be a simple loop, maybe 3 miles.
Somehow, we missed a turn that was completely overgrown and ended up walking for what felt like two hours along a dried-up creek bed.
My phone had zero service, and we were basically just guessing the direction.
Just when we were starting to get genuinely worried, we popped out of the woods right into the back of an apple orchard.
The owner was so confused but let us pick a few apples.
We ended up buying a whole bushel of Honeycrisps and a jug of cider from his little shop.
So the hike turned into an impromptu apple tasting. Best accidental adventure ever.
Anyway, that's my long-winded story. Hope your week is going well.
Let's catch up properly soon.

Oh man, I totally forgot to tell you I started that online pottery class I was waffling about.
It's honestly way harder than it looks on Instagram.
The first session was just wedging clay, which is basically just slamming it on a table to get air bubbles out.
My arms were so sore the next day! Then we got on the wheel, and I turned my lump into something that looks less like a bowl and more like a wobbly tree stump.
The instructor said it has character. I'm choosing to take that as a compliment.
I already signed up for the next module because it's surprisingly therapeutic, even though I'm completely covered in dried clay by the end of it.
The studio has this incredible earthy smell and there's something really satisfying about seeing actual physical progress, even if it's ugly.
I'll send you a picture of my masterpiece when it's fired.
What's a new thing you've been meaning to try? You should totally do it.
