Yesterday was May Day. My friend and neighbor, Margaret, gave me a little May basket last year. It is a handmade paper basket filled with a "posie" or small bouquet of wild flowers. The tradition is to hang it from a friend's doorknob, ring the bell, and hide. The history of May Day goes back to the ancient Gaelic holiday of Beltane, to celebrate and encourage the fertility of the lands, animals, and people. But this year, Margaret was in Colorado, so no May baskets.

Ten weeks!
Wow, the baby is two inches long - the size of a lime! And only six more days until my next ultrasound, hooray! It should look more like a baby than that little worm we saw at 6 weeks!
