In Response to J

I admire the orchid's beauty but prefer to nurture vegetables and herbs.
I shall obtain a tripod when I purchase a new camera.
I have a cat who would find batting about the blooms an enjoyable adventure.
I study the scenes of Old Key West in The Rose Tattoo.
I savor the sweetness and saltiness of peanut sauces.
I now store my knitting needles in a zippered bag I purchased in Paris.
I find my boldness in stating my opinions distressing to some.
I can only digest Nietzsche in small quantities.
I intend to replace my store bought socks with hand knit ones as the store boughts wear out.
I enjoy being outdoors but wish the outboard engine was less noisy.
I'm not sure I understand that statement.
I have also be described as kind, aloof, eccentric and enigmatic...

I assumed that the chores of staking and draining orchids seemed less "forgiving" if not
impractical.

I was charmed by the image of domestic witchery--impaling a cast off garment with needles, in a closet, no less.

I might read or might have read Nietzsche, but lately I find that I never really understood what I was reading...one consolation of living longer is the involuntary absorption and restructuring of one's opinions. Such changes come when we are ready for them?

I find it a paradox, characterizing most enigmatic people, that things and ideas come between them, in an attempt to draw them closer together...the veils of multi-meaning, if you will.

I think some truth lies buried in The Rose Tattoo, I ask you if one profile herself with a specific film only to partake in the scenery?

A self-defined wallflower in high school, but not now...your boldness appears to have attracted droves of admirers.
