So, the sites been down for a while. It looks like we finally found a solution around the DDOS, and I'm back. I've mostly been posting on LJ, but for family and such, here are some pics of what I've been up to.

My herb garden! Spearmint and peppermint on the left, chives, cilantro, sage, rosemary and basil in the strawberry pot, a dwarf meyer lemon tree (that is just beginning to fruit!) and lavender.

The strawberries on the ground have since been hung but didn't fare well, thanks to FedEx holding the package (despite the big sticker that said LIVE PLANTS). They mostly died en route. Parkseed.com replaced them free of charge, but based on my Fedex tracking, the new package got held again.

My plants: Celosia in the leftmost pot, some more rosemary, a larger pot with coleus, moneywort and electric pink festival grass, and a humungous pot with persicaria and New Zealand flax. The flowerbox has coleus, impatiens, New Guinea impatiens and dichondra.

Also, succulents.

The table now has matching chairs, and I've eaten dinner out in my little garden. In fact, Friday, I cooked goat cheese stuffed chicken and ate it outside :)

I rearranged my living room and hung my awesome paintings from Audrey Kawasaki.

This weekend we took a motorcycle ride to try and see some of the damage from the Summit fire. We failed, as the nav system thought a lot of private roads were actual connecting roads. Dirt/gravel roads + bike = not great. At one dead end, we did randomly meet up with some folks who lived in the mountains, and talked about bikes for a good while. In the end, we just gave up and drove to Monterey for dinner. We ended up eating at Fisherman's Wharf right on the water.

Also, after something like 3 years of playing my main character on WoW, I hit level 65.

And now you're caught up, and people can quit telling me to update my site :)
