The use of wind in all her titles in one fashion or another is a tribute to her being born under the Gemini zodiac sign, representative of the air. She loves the play of the wind against her face, the sound it makes on a cold winter day as it skirls through the eaves, and the sight of it causing the tall prairie grasses to sway. "It is nature's vacuum cleaner," she says.
