Helianthus

Back from Northern California, where we went to a mushroom festival (DEEP-FRIED MUSHROOMS.  The Greeks were wrong, THAT is what gods eat) and San Francisco, and played many, many rounds of Dominion along with some Catan, Bang, and something Cthulhu-based (Arkham Horror?) which was entertaining if only for the fact that my husband was playing a psychologist who was dual-wielding magic swords with a bullwhip as backup weapon.  We also watched the first four seasons of The Guild.

My gardenias are finally blooming, huzzah!  I needs me a plant icon.  I did a lot of other productive, garden-related stuff today -planting fountain grass, setting up the strawberry pot, getting some more plants to put in the shady side yard - and I hope to have my first tomatoes soon.  Leela keeps escaping when I open the door to my computer room, but she wasn't very good at it for a while.  Once she figured out that sticking only the top half of her body under the couch was not enough, she got her way and got to explore the house a bit.  She seems to be exhausted from her adventures and is passed out on my lap again.
