Ordinary life in Tustin, the way it actually runs — not a highlight reel.

Morning

An early walk at One Seed Community Garden, before the day starts properly.

Afternoon

An hour at Pine Tree Park, between the errands that never show up on a listing sheet.

Evening

Dinner at Koki's Teppanyaki Grille, then a short drive back to whichever neighbourhood you call home.
