3. I love the smell of the earth, the sprout of a seed and the joy of a changing garden.
4. I never get tired of holding babies.
5. Things I’ve done in spite of my fears: scuba diving, para-sailing and holding my cat as he slipped away.
6. I used to cover my short, red, curly hair with my mother’s black slip so I could pretend I was Elizabeth Taylor in National Velvet.
