Lots of photos like this in my photo feed currently as I capture images to identify and log various plants.

I’m still settling into a new routine after leaving my full-time job. My days generally involve a few hours of learning or project work over coffee in the morning, followed by gardening and house tasks in the afternoon. When my wife is home (her schedule has been quite busy lately!), we’ve been able to spend some quality time together again.

Learning & Projects

A few weeks ago, I started to learn some design principles, but quickly realized the best way for me to learn is by doing. So, I pulled an iOS app I started months ago back of the shelf to tackle. It evolved from bunch of python scripts I’ve used for years, but would prefer in proper app-form for my phone. It’s still ugly, but it’s slowly looking… better.

We are also looking forward to a trip to see friends in Seattle WA next week!
