Favorites


Raindrops on roses ...
Whiskers on kittens ...
Bright cooper kettles and warm woolen mittens ...
Brown paper packages tied up with string ...
These are a few of my favorite things!

Maria had her list and I have mine, though I must admit that I don't sound nearly as lovely when I sing. However, in case you are interested, these are a few of my favorite things!
