I was just walking around and I noticed the neighbors Mary has a moustache. Nice. I don't think the hairy thing is Jesus unless Jesus had moobs. Maybe it will miraculously grow into a porn stash. I'll bet when they redo their bathroom, Mary will get put in a half sunken claw foot tub. Sharp.

My next door neighbor, Cheyrl, has nice grapes this year. I happened to catch the stray pole, but, she's got them on a rustic arbor that matches her brown barn house. It's about 30 feet long and looks nice. I am not a lover of the rustic look, I've lived in enough shit that was rustic by accident. Her grape arbor is loaded though! Purple and green. I'm having an arbor next year even if I have to build it myself. Not rustic though. Probably shabby chick..since everything I own is shabby. Maybe I can pass it off like I planned it that way.

When that first picture popped up I thought I was back in south Omaha minus the half a bathtub
The half bathtub is still popular here and it always has Mary in it. I think all these neighborhood Marys party at night.
The small town we live in is 90% Catholic and everyone has a Virgin Mary somewhere in their yard. Several years after we had first moved here I happened upon our very own virgin buried under some bushes. I promptly painted her in psychedelic colors and then moved her to the backyard so as not to offend anyone.
I'd like a picture of that! She was buried!? That's weird.
Crap - I wrote that amzing stuff and accidentally deleted it. :)
Basically, mental health and contentment is MUCH more important than new shiny things.
Look at all the rich people who have mansions and more money than they can spend in two lifetimes, and nine times out of ten they (are) become batshit crazy and spiritually lost - and don't appreciate what they have at all.
If it helps, pretend you LOVE rustic. I would love just having my own yard where I could plant stuff and know I don't have to move and leave it behind in a couple of years.
maybe they should do a gender test on that statue like they're doing with that runner from africa cuz they think it might be a guy instead of a girl....
I can't pretend to love rustic. It makes me itch.
I agree with anon about the rich house and lifestyle.
I grew up wealthy and apathetic about my surroundings, and the reality of how rewarding it is to learn about oneself and feed our good side through helping others.
Cryopaedia is a great book written in 420's BC by Xenophon. He relates the education of Cyrus and the danger of the social elite to be disconnected from the masses.
The Zemstvo in Russia, the Nazis, the French aristocracy pre- revolution of the 1800's, all regarded themselves as smarter than the people. It all led to Industrial revolution, Third Reich, and decapitation of the Monarchs and failed states. Oh yeah, militant religion as well.

All these people remind me of John Edwards living in his mansion and cheating on his dying wife, while pretending to be a champion of the poor and a decent man. haha.
jarhead
I don't want to be elite, I'd just like a new sink and a couple of cabinets in my kitchen. Heh.
And the exposed pipes behind the loo are not atractive or rustic. They're just rusty.
