Oh, and by the way...

The title of this blog, "Spirit, Fire, & Dew" comes from a poem by Robert Browning called Evelyn Hope, part of which reads: "The good stars met in your horoscope, made you of spirit, fire, and dew..."

The quote also serves as an epigraph to Anne of Green Gables, which became one of my favorite books of all time at age 12. I wanted to be just like Anne: fiery in spirit, but dewy and gentle too. Don't think I'm succeeding at the gentle part...
