Springtime is here!
Today, I worked in the garden. Okay, not really. But I bought some Italian herbs and planted them in a box. Now we can use our own home-grown fresh herbs for cooking!
I proudly present, from left to right: thyme, rosemary, and oregano. We also have parsley, which is visible in the bottom left corner. Ah, the fragrance of those herbs! Makes me hungry… 
(There’s some ivy in the background, which we do not intend to eat.)

Reading
Yay, there’s an excerpt of Otherland: Sea of Silver Light by Tad Williams on Amazon.com! And the book is going to be published in April – I can hardly wait to read the last part of the series. The timing is perfect – in April I’ll have to start preparing for my written exams, and I always need good books to read while learning.

Kleine Weisheiten…

Sunset – or sunrise?
Beautiful photo, Jeff!

Thanks. I find if you take enough pictures, then you’re bound to get a decent one every once in a while.

You’re right. I think that is the great thing about using a digital camera – you don’t have to worry about wasting film, because there isn’t any. I’ve found that I approach taking a photo in a very different way with my digital camera. Instead of carefully thinking about what to photograph, I just point the camera and click away, trying different angles, with our without flash, etc. The results can be amazing!
your herb garden is making me jealous! we spent two years growing the one at our rental … now that we’ve moved to our own house, we have to start all over again. *this* time, we’re planting mint in a steel bucket so the roots don’t spread and choke everything else out.
fave: ripe tomatoes, fresh basil … on top of a good slice of french bread that’s been lightly toasted over an open fire … drizzled with olive oil … YUM.
Ah, your garden must have been much bigger and greater than my little box!

Be sure to try this combination with some balsamic vinegar (preferably the original stuff, Aceto Balsamico di Modena from Italy). That’s my favourite combination! The vinegar adds a bit of both sweet- and sourness to the combination. YUM!
