Lemon Trees

I am sick with vomiting and nausea and physically and emotionally exhausted with this pregnancy. Back when I was pregnant with my little girl, the sound of crickets, rain, and the smell of summer had become unpleasant to me.

Today as I write down these words all I want is to to squeeze the leaves off lemon trees and have the scent ride on my fingers. I want the air to be spiced up with the smell of lemons and limes.
