Found

I was going through the pictures on my phone and I found this one, I thought it was pretty nifty so I’m posting it:

In case you’re curious, that is one of my many, many, many gargoyles and next to it is a birthday card from my son.  We had a fabulous dog named Domino that was a Dalmation/ Cattle Dog mix and I think the picture reminded my son of her- not for the obvious reason but the attitude more then anything else.

Hideaway Hill’s Folly

RDP Monday: FOLLY

Sometimes it’s not the house or building that’s the folly. Sometimes it is what  inside of it that is-

Blue Room – Linden Frederick

 

My house

had  bright green trim

and the gutters always leaked.

 

There was an apple tree in the front yard

and cherry trees in the back yard and a holly tree

at the bottom of the yard with my initials carved into the trunk.

 

My house fit into our street

much better then I  ever did

there was nothing about me that was like anyone else

I was built wrong, colored wrong, I was damaged and worn and chipped

and when I moved away, I’m sure my house was very relived.

 

I think it  feels like a real home now but I’ll bet the gutters still leak.
