    I think she was pregnant. Now that that is settled how about a portrait done in semps, I have one of those mosaic programs and if you load up enough semp pictures, it will produce Mona Houseleek. I am tempted to actually plant it in the garden; it could start a completely new trend in rock gardening. If anyone does actually plant this, please send a photo.
