I love...The way rain collects in crevices on gravel roads, Brit's Pub, rare books, wildflowers growing along the roadside, the smell of rain, cotton, archaeology, when my daughter tells me that she loves being with me, London...

...cooking Italian cuisine, sexy shoes, the feeling of water, vintage powder compacts, pretty bracelets, little cloisonne boxes, Lily of the Valley, art galleries...

...when I'm driving and the clouds on the horizon look like mountains, ballet, silk shantung, history, candles glowing behind colored glass, Martinis...

...Asian culture, lipgloss, the Harajuku Girls, Hello Kitty, the smell of damp pine in the woods, fine beers, Shahi Indian cuisine, respect...

...secluded coffee shops, being a good tipper, Chinese knotting, cobblestone roads, my Mother's personality, my Jamie Oliver skillets, anthropology, denim, people with great minds, Shakespeare...

... male chefs, huckleberries, driving in the country, fireflies, red-winged blackbirds, fresh basil, the first warm breeze of summer...

...jazz music played outdoors, learning about wine, architecture, the gait of a content & confident canine, French-milled soap, the United Kingdom...

...the peony bush that my brother gave me, black ink, the cardinal's sweet song, chopsticks...

I have a rock fetish...most are in my gardens...but the really cool geological finds stay in the house!

I don't...smoke, lie, pass judgements, do drugs, gossip, watch horror movies, impose my beliefs on others, like driving on ice...
