Emily Dickinson poetry. As an avid gardener, she wrote about nature so beautifully and lyrically. She challenges us to look at nature through her eyes.

Every summer, I reread a part of Atlas Shrugged Then when I am done, it will be ready to start again. Then have to read some John Sanford, suspense type books.
