so much mental stimulation and inspiration came from working outside the other day in a client's garden, ended up using Superwhisper dozens of times to jot down quick notes

having landscape projects in construction changes everything.

way better for mental health, bopping around town, get to solve problems together, build things with pals, get plants in the ground.

overall momentum seems to increase across all other projects.

don't worry though ended up suggesting these California natives instead cause that's where we live, client was looking for more silver foliage

Pinterest is pretty dangerous place. only go there about once a month if I'm looking for something super specific, but then get sucked in. today spent 30 minutes looking at exterior siding images before realized doesn't matter.

your startup might be buying more GPUs with your Mercury card but we're out here getting Arctostaphylos 'John Dourley', Ceanothus 'Julia Phelps', and Arctostaphylos 'Howard McMinn' planted in the ground

the plants do so much of the actual work that sometimes it feels as the designer we've only contributed a small amount to set the stage for them to do their thing
