Once again, Hayden demonstrates his propensity for nature!
(I have NO idea why he wanted to wear this "white" outfit yesterday - but he insisted that it be all white - he got really filthy!)
Here's my little Earth Friend with a moth he found in my garden. This creature stayed with him for about 10 minutes until it flew away:

Miscarriage of Justice
How Losing a Baby Feels Like a real Rip-Off
by Laura Moulton
(an excerpt)
"Miscarriages are really awful and gruesome, and words fail, which is perhaps why they're not talked about in any kind of mainstream way. People don't know what to offer up by way of comfort, and perhaps women who've had the experience have trouble articulating it. I certainly did, in the beginning. In an old Webster's dictionary, I found miscarriage listed simply as "abortion." What a strange word miscarriage is. There are different ways to parse it up: to mis-carry something would seem to mean handling it carelessly or dropping it. Or there was to miss carrying something, which I did keenly. In my darkest, I scanned the dictionary for other words: mischance, miserable, misery, misfortune, mishap, mislay, misplace (as in, I've misplaced my fetus, can you give me a hand?), mislead, (as in, It seems my body mislead me from about week 7 on). Ben said miscarriage sounded like a term from the 1800s. Like some Elizabethan misfortune that happened to depressed wives in dark, empty houses. Not something that happened to women on a regular basis. Whatever the case, I found that as common as miscarriage supposedly is, there is not much out there, save a handful of support groups, books published by small presses, and some online chatting about it."
