I was so very comforted by the flowers and all the green.

We see their lives though that lens. And yes, when we discover that things are not always perfect for them, it does give us a little more gratitude about our own lives. As I may have said to someone lately (ha!) I'd rather live in a place with a chicken coop and chickens running around than in a palace any day. <br />And that is true. <br />And I too wish them all the best. Mostly- love.

I think you described my feelings about the interview perfectly, I didn’t watch but couldn’t keep away from reading about it, and yes feeling a little cheapened. Your flowers are gorgeous. I used to visit friends on Tallahassee years ago and in spring, the azaleas blazing colors would make my heart happy.

I'm not a royalist although I think the Queen has done a wonderful job - a job she never wanted. As for H and M, I have a hard time listening to them claiming they want to be private citizens and then pulling out all the stops to be anything but. I don't see them as a couple lasting either, but then what would I know!Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-55441061369037209572021-03-09T09:53:30.046-05:002021-03-09T09:53:30.046-05:00I think maybe we are fascinated with public lives ...I think maybe we are fascinated with public lives because we live vicariously through them, in the sense that we wonder how we might behave in those circumstances were we the ones navigating them, and, inevitably, when we see that wealth and fame and beauty do not protect against life's pains and heartaches, we might feel a bit more grateful for the quiet little life we lead. Plus, it's not unlike watching a movie I suppose, except this is real life, and so illuminating of circumstances other than our own. I am glad Harry and Meghan spoke out. Glad they put their truth on the record. I hope they live long and prosper, and their children, too. 37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-86103987440084684572021-03-09T09:38:10.388-05:002021-03-09T09:38:10.388-05:00well, I for one do not get the fascination with th...well, I for one do not get the fascination with the British royals. they're just people, some of them are nice, some of them are assholes.

They are also toxic to animals and many dogs and cats have gotten quite ill if they ingest them, I think it can even be fatal. So, they don't recommend them here in Arizona, tho' they are beautiful. Ours did quite well when we lived in the previous Home, it was in the Front Courtyard, but it did poorly here at the new Mini Farm Poolside and died. As for the Royals... seems we Americans are on the side of Meghan and Harry... but my Welsh relatives in Wales definitely are not, interesting how on the other side of the Pond they are still very protective of the Royal Family 'Firm'. I would think tho' exceedingly Privileged, growing up a Royal would mean never really having true Freedom and a Life of one's own... this is Harry's only opportunity to really have a regular Life and I do think Racism played a big role in why they left, to raise their Children in Peace and without as much backlash due to their mixed ethnicity.Bohemianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743017084098726581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-34892887228850641972021-03-08T22:57:29.141-05:002021-03-08T22:57:29.141-05:00I don't think I've told you lately but I l...I don't think I've told you lately but I love you.
