Thanks, Mom!
Front crawl. When I was on my high school's swim team, I discovered that I'm terribly slow at back stroke!
Sweet tooth or 'salty tooth'?

(Nellie! Hi! )
I think I have a sweet tooth, though lately salted caramel has been tasting really good...
Robins or bluebirds?

Robins I think, but I would be really interested in seeing either bird, as it is unlikely to meet such birds here.

Lemons, mmm! ♥ (But not that I do not enjoy limes sometimes too.)

Re: This or That!
I have always loved trains, so ... trains!
I simply must expand: some of this has to do with their size, yet the relative quietness with which they travel through almost any type of landscape with such controlled strength and power. Whenever I cross train tracks in town, I always want to stop on them (yeah, shouldn't do that), and just gaze down the tracks to either side, seeing them disappear to a point in the distance—somehow the mystery of where they go really, really appeals to me. And I love the first sight of a train as it's coming into the station. It's almost Lewis' 'sehnsucht' feeling—that deep, wistful longing and mystery of an inexplicable joy and wonder. I can hardly describe the feeling. Plus, I really like the soothing clickity-clack sound they make. (Other things give me that amazing longing as well—French horns for one, hazy distant mountains for another, amongst others.) But this is too long an explanation for the question. Still, I could not resist.
Early mornings or night owl? (Writing this at 6 a.m., you now know what I am. )

Early morning, especially in our hot after Christmas summers

Oh, that is a tough one...
I'd say switching in autumn back to standard time. I know that it makes the evenings come around so early again, but it is so nice to sleep in.
Daytime skies or nighttime skies?

Nighttime skies ♥. But if there are plentiful clouds in the daytime hours, then bring 'em on.

Walking if I have to. I have always had bronchial asthma & have been told I now have Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder.

wagga.
Hmm, probably flooding rains, 'though I don't really care to choose as both can be very severe and dangerous.
Curly hair or straight hair?

Curly hair to make my straight hair look less like rats' tails.
Plaits or Pony tails?

Plaits, though they're hard enough to do on myself.
Rivers or lakes?

Lakes because being on a lake in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area is one of my very favorite places to be.
