I like to write in lower case letters like e.e. cummings. I’m seldom brave enough to break the rules and do so. I love to be outside when it is raining. I love the smell of rain and snow. I love pretty things, but loathe clutter. I hate the phone. I hate cell phones even more. I love grapes and fresh strawberries; peonies and hydrangeas. I detest marshmallows, jello and starfruit. I love to sit on patios sipping hazelnut lattes – especially in the fall. I like walking in the wind, the sound of water, sand between my toes, fields of flowers, blue, green and brown. I don’t like noise, lilies or licorice tea.
