If there is one place...
...I can truly relax, it's here, in the wonderfulness that is the home of Thisbe Nissen and Lee Klein.
Two days of what feels like thereapy. My favorite pizza (pistachio, pesto). Strolling in the garden (so tomato-full as to be insane), reading on the porch (Joyce Maynard), collaging to my heart's content (house-warming cards). Thinking and talking about the writing things that matter, and disparaging (in a laughing way) the writing things that don't, with people who-- more than anyone I know-- GET IT!
Iowa is feeling small and wonderful. I'm feeling rested and happy. I'm ready to apply, again, to grad schools. I'm ready to get back to work. I'm ready to see what happens next...
In other news, some exciting (and secret-for-now) small developments.
In still other news, I'm big as a whale... and getting bigger.
Do you know? Do you know how good a fresh-picked tomato smells?

i do in fact. recently i got stranded on the top of a mountain in vermont on a friend's land. every night i would walk to the garden and pick what ever was ripe then cook it in the outdoor kitchen. that plus drinking beer in front of the bonfire untill i drifted off to sleep made an other wise frustrating situation (hole in my car's oil pan) lovely.
glad you had a nice trip.
ah man a big fat juicy tomato when you are expecting is like the best treat.
Nearly any food while pregnant tastes SO much better.
