i swear i’ll get better at updating on here.

i still need to upload some pictures soon, but that will also require me going through said photos to pick some to share.
we’ve been in knoxville for two months now and it’s increasingly mindblowing to us that we are dwelling in the mountains - something we’ve wanted for quite some time. we both love tennessee immensely and have talked numerous times about either ending up here or north carolina. if you’ve been here, you’d understand. the sights alone are awe-inspiring, but even the air is different and feels better. plus, it doesn’t hurt that there are way more cooler days here than florida.
i definitely miss the coast, but the mountains and crisp rivers are the only things i would choose over the coast, so i’m happy.

a highlight of our meanderings these days are the mulberry trees i discovered on a walk one day. my family has a mulberry tree in the corner of our backyard and i’ve always been obsessed with it. i get way too hyped on foraging in the first place, but having such a thing in my own yard?! bliss.
anyway, this is our very own version of that, especially since the birds and squirrels haven’t even tried to eat the berries, and i’m not sure any other humans are aware of the goldmine we have stumbled upon.
needless to say, we have a designated snack spot on our walks now.
that is the life.

more to update on later, but ciao for now!
