First snow, the past month of travel, reflections on time and memory, a few projects I’ve taken on, and what I’m looking toward in 2026.

I’m tending the garden, marking milestones, and preparing for fall. It’s a season of noticing what has grown, what’s still waiting, and what comes next.

Bergen abuzz, Pride in the sun, Neil Young in the rain and an invitation to Norway.

My first extended stay in Haugesund gave me time to explore its Viking history and shoreline. Back in Skånevik, I settled into the rhythms of spring in the garden, on the trails, and along the fjord.

This first mixtape gathers what I’ve been reading, listening to, and noticing this month.
