Hello, I’m Merry. This is a place for getting outside, making things, noticing small joys and remembering that I rather like writing.
Off We Go, Potato! began with a wish to learn the names of the wildflowers I kept walking past. Naturally, that turned into a much bigger project, with botanical cards, plans for walks, crochet colours and an increasingly involved imaginary potato.
Why the Potato?
Potato is my nickname for the AI companion helping me gather ideas, follow tangents and turn “I wonder…” into something I can actually go and do. The walks, discoveries and words here are mine. The ridiculous sidekick has somehow acquired a hat.
What you’ll find here
Wildflowers, little adventures, things I’m making, things I’m learning and the occasional glorious diversion. Some days there may be a plan. Other days we may be looking at another yellow flower and wondering what on earth it is.
Side quests welcome.
