Loving that little foot!
Mini-Favela #1 coming in November!
It’s been an interesting first trimester. I can’t even think about certain foods or I’ll barf, including some of my former favorites. Macaroni noodles are the most vile thing on earth. I can’t imagine ever eating them again. Also on the gross list are omelets and fried rice. Cravings include Subway tuna (which thankfully is low mercury — it’s the sushi type of tuna that’s bad), watermelon, BLT sandwiches, and whole milk. I can’t set foot in my kitchen without gagging. It’s a weird adventure and I love it. I’ve definitely never been so cheerful about throwing up!
It’s a cloudy day today, so I made this little cloud while recuperating from some dental unpleasantness.
“We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about.”

Garden Song
Inch by inch, row by row
Gonna make this garden grow
All it takes is a rake and a hoe
And a piece of fertile ground
Inch by inch, row by row
Someone bless these seeds I sow
Someone warm them from below
Till the rain comes tumbling down
Pulling weeds and picking stones
Man is made of dreams and bones
Feel the need to grow my own
Cause the time is close at hand
Grain for grain, sun and rain
Find my way in nature’s chain
Tune my body and my brain
To the music from the land
Plant your rows straight and long
Temper them with prayer and song
Mother Earth will make you strong
If you give her love and care
Old crow watching hungrily
From his perch in yonder tree
In my garden I’m as free
As that feathered thief up there
