Can't help think about what Bubbles said on one of my favourite series ever, The Wire, "This shit ain't right, MacNulty, this shit ain't right" . . . but at least the folks who own the places are generous enough to allow their viewing. And meanwhile, sadly, there are way too many people who envy what you and I have. . .materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-15629453298463125622011-06-07T01:16:04.297-04:002011-06-07T01:16:04.297-04:00Happy belated birthday!

I just go, "Oh pretty!" and wander off in boredom. <br /><br />I also grew up around a lot of privileged people, and yes, they do take all that for granted. Their whole lives are surrounded by the sartorially pleasant, so they only notice when it's missing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-41653427806551585962011-06-07T01:06:09.010-04:002011-06-07T01:06:09.010-04:00You absolutely look tennis.

Two of my friends are private gardeners and they have been busting their bottoms making sure that their employers' properties were in tip-top, awe-inspiring form for garden tours in the affluent parts of the county last weekend.<br /><br />However, I've never been to our local garden tour and I am planning on attending this coming weekend so we'll see how it turns out.Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-73630021160728583492011-06-06T13:56:10.245-04:002011-06-06T13:56:10.245-04:00Sounds like a fun birthday experience. :-) And it ...Sounds like a fun birthday experience. :-) And it looks like you got some beautiful pictures too! I would love to do the same in some very old established neighborhood full of restored Victorians or Gothic Revivals. 'Course, I would be much more interested in the architecture than the gardens, but hey, what can I say?<br /><br />My word verification is "unvice", that makes me laugh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-77991169174596876692011-06-06T11:56:54.520-04:002011-06-06T11:56:54.520-04:00You do look very tennis.

On the one hand, it is over the top, on the other the gardens and homes are drop dead gorgeous and I enjoy taking in the beauty.<br /><br />Not much help I know.Susan Tinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11900811284963063686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-27437985581688965222011-06-06T10:57:28.130-04:002011-06-06T10:57:28.130-04:00Glad you had fun on your birthday.
