In relation to the last post I agree that the US government has been backing individual leaders who offer US support regardless of whether they are democratic or not for far too long.<br />‘Prosperity, individualism, the Puritan ethic, nationalism, and blind capitalism is nothing more than "civil religion."

Am I right that the main building is missing a roof these days. Perhaps that's how the prince got in after he cut away the vines.<br /><br />I wonder sometimes about my tendency to love grass, flowers and old stone. It's like there's an element of timelessness in such surroundings and that magic is almost there.<br /><br />liberality - We haven't watched tv in more than 12 years either. I've heard people explain there's good stuff but we can rent a video for that and avoid the madness.<br /><br />steve - They do make a good pair, don't they? I think all of us are somewhat concerned about things just outside our own frames but these two (yes, marmoset) appear to be ready. <br /><br />I already told you about the Yarkas so I won't go on. Best wishes for happy results of your own.<br /><br />linda - I'm glad you like them and it's always delightful to read your take on what might be happening. I think I'll likely be painting it well before the new paints arrive. After all, it's not like I don't have enough already :-) I'll be sure to post it for review as soon as it's done. Meanwhile I need time to fall into it.<br /><br />lydia - I've decided to paint it after all since I just heard the paints are 10 days away. I can't use not having a different brand available as an excuse. Meanwhile, making the paper pink does make it look good as it is.<br /><br />randal - Thanks. Up With People, I say.<br /><br />okjimm - The bread and circuses (or should I say beer and corndogs) keep everybody well entertained even in the midst of winter. <br /><br />I'm glad to know you like my stuff and there really isn't much to say.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-6898906535594822342011-02-05T14:55:31.950-08:002011-02-05T14:55:31.950-08:00Ya.......

Allies. Actually, my favorite things are the ones they have in common - the bare feet on stone and the wild hair.<br /><br />My first thought about the furry friend was "marmoset, or maybe tamarin"?<br /><br />As with ALL of these, I am looking forward to how they change with paint.<br /><br />And your remarks about ordering the paint make me wonder what brand you like.

Only a couple of kilometers away was the castle of <i>Sababurg</i> which is generally agreed to be the fairy-tale castle of "Sleeping Beauty", as told by the Brothers Grimm. You can read a bit more about it <a href="http://castleandpalacehotels.com/countries/germany/germany_regions/g_hessen/g_sababurg.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://www.sababurg.de/download/pdf/allgemeine_kurzinformation_sommer_2009_english.pdf" rel="nofollow">here</a> (pdf).<br /><br />There may be some <i>kitsch</i> involved but it really does seem like a sleepy castle under a spell. Somehow, I see your picture situated there!<br /><br />Who needs TV! :-)Francis Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00422476000328664994noreply@blogger.com
