I often walk by a house in the neighbourhood who has the most beautiful huge display of roses in their front garden, looking spectacular this time of the year. I always wondered who the owners where and how much work they'd have to do to keep them looking neat and tidy. I also always thought how lucky we -neighbours- are to be able to enjoy them. Today I finally had the pleasure of meeting the owner, a man in his mid seventies who loves gardening. I had to stop when I saw hime :-) I told him how I enjoyed walking by his house and thanked him for it. He was so grateful and nice. He did tell me it requires lots of work but he enjoys it, doing little by little as he can. Such a lovely double kind treat on my walk today.

What a nice day in the park for her and the rats she carries in her purse. Tj’s self care is narcissistic and the illegitimate children are a reflection of chosen friends.
