a few words as september passes



on sunday evening we attended a lovely baby blessing ceremony for aurora echo dawes. as her parents' doula, i had the honor of seeing aurora come into the world one full moon in may. it was wonderful to be part of her special ceremony too, where i got to ring a tibetan bell and read a lovely quote about krishna's mother looking into her son's mouth and seeing the entire cosmos before her.

doesn't aurora look charming in her snowy handmade duds?



aside from that bit of excitement, i have very little to write about these days. except that i just scored a brand new oster deluxe rice cooker on freecycle. we eat a lot of rice around here, so i think it will be quite helpful.

the weather is lovely. the squirrels have knocked down all the sunflowers. the cats have fleas despite their flea medicine. the house is dusty. the lawn is freshly mowed. and once again, we have been tempted by another rental home out in the countryside. oh this one may be irresistible. and i am crazy with indecision.

stay tuned!
