I would block them if I knew who they were. I do not entertain dialogs with cultists. There is no point in doing so.

The #songoftheday is "GOLD" by the Prince.
🎵There's a mountain and it's mighty high
You cannot see the top, unless you fly
And there's a molehill, of proven ground
Ain't nowhere to go if you hang around🎶

#Rhododendron "Flaming Star"
This show-off is in my front garden where everyone walking or driving by can gawk. 😂

Any garden, large or tiny is a good garden!
Thank you, I do.
I have put a lot of work into collecting, planting (and over planting) it. When I bought the house, I had to rip out (using dump trucks with chains) god awful laurel hedges, which are shit plants.
My mom and her German father also loved gardens and flowers.
They are the party of pedophilia, starting with their cultish churches and Christo Fascist organizations like boy scouts, etc.
"White English Bluebells"
These petite sweeties are actually albino, rendering them white. They are a protected flower in the UK. 🙄In my yard, they are invasive and spread like wildfire.

"Hino Crimson Azalea" 🎏
This hybrid, which is covered with small crimson flowers, comes from Kurume, Japan. It is a legacy plant, likely planted by the former owner in the early 1980s.

a real character, He and his wife Muriel could drink anyone under the table, except my dad. I remember witnessing many boating parties where all the adults were crocked to the gills. They had a dinghy for their boat, which Fred called the Lady Chumley.
All of these people were good souls. 5/end
around them. Stan died prematurely, like so many other WW II generation men, of a heart attack. In later years, my mother Maxine would take Mary shopping, as Mary did not drive.
The last man coming out of the cabin of his boat, the "Lord Chumley", is Fred Dewar. He was very Scottish, and 4/x
Standing next to seated Mary is my brother, Bobby, a man whose face seems familiar (Don Septon?). I can hear his voice.
Next is a grinning Stan Durgin. Theirs was an Italian/Irish marriage - with being Catholics a common thread. Both liked to get their party on. Always a fun time being 3/x
Mary was a larger than life character. Her Italian birth family clan was large in Tacoma, Washington. I went to school with a Karen Marzano, who is undoubtedly a family member (aunt, I believe.) Karen appears to have been killed by her husband in 1983. 2/x

"Lord Chumley"
My dad took this summer boating photo in 1961-62. It could be on Puget sound, or more likely in British Columbia. I recognize all but one of the people.
L to R: Mary (Marzano) Durgin, my brother Bobby, an unknown man who looks familiar, Stan Durgin, and Fred Dewer. 1/x
"Unknown Location"
Photographer W. H. Joyner shot this in October 1964. Perhaps as I go through his many slides that came into my possession, I will know more about where he was in fall 1964.

The mystery photographer W. H. Joyner (the name is hand written on several of the slides) shot this, around 1960-61.

The Huntington is one of the great places to visit in the greater Los Angeles area, and well worth a two day visit. You still will not have seen everything to see.

Hibiscus, the sound of the word, is much like the word Hollyhock. It sounds poetic, and evokes dream images in one's mind of something in England.
😻She would modestly thank you, if she could.
She is pure blood Turkish Van. Vans always have color on the top of their head, and tail. Their fur is a single layer, and silky like cashmere. My other two cats are also Vans.

"You Can't Paint This"
Tony's family did not like the fact that some of his paintings portrayed nude subjects, and asked him to hide them before they paid him a visit. FFS🫣
