Hasse, Birch, Anja, and Larke.
Hasse is holding a net in one hand and his leg on the other hand while bending over to peek between his legs. Birch admires his walking staff with carvings of the heights of various animals. Anja holds a pole of stones in her arm as she drops them into a pair of buckets. Larke squats down and covers her head with a green dumpster with holes cut out for her eyes.

Spent the morning wandering the Arboretum meeting the Thomas Dambo’s trolls of the Field Study. We’ll definitely be seeing more of each other while they’re in town.

Let me introduce you all…

Whipped up the first batch of cranberry spice syrup this afternoon, so of course I had to have my first (double) Cranberry Fashioned of the year this evening!

Gingerbread Vader approved.
Cranberries boiling and popping in a pot. A double rocks glass filled with a reddish-brown cocktail and an orange peel garnish. Next to the glass is a gingerbread Dark Vader minifigure holding a candy cane as a lightsaber.
