~ A few days ago Simon told me that he finally had his Visa approved, and so will be coming State side for a while (mostly for school in Vermont).

I’m pretty excited, though I am not sure if Portland will be ready for it.

I decided to try my hand at growing herbs. If I decide they're stable, I'll start harvesting from them for cooking. From left to right: Rosemary, Oregano, Chives.

One of the cuttings of Dumb Cane is starting to grow. The full story of this plant requires a separate post. Note that the plants shown in the pot are not Dumb Cane, but Air Plants, related to Bromeliads.
