The sevenling is catching! And another familiar situation! We must have had rocks in our heads when we bought our cottage. Yes, we have nice views, but it’s taken twenty years and more than a coat of paint and a bit of tidying up, and it's still not done!
I love this and " i know - c'est moi" made me chuckle. I have been decorating my kitchen-diner bit-by-bit for six years and finally given up - lovely George (the decorator) arrives tomorrow! Anna :o]
Heh. I've been told I have rocks in my head for wanting to keep my home. If I hadn't inherited it and had to buy a house, I'd buy one like it. Not a lot of mod. cons. that require a lot of expensive maintenance; only the house itself needs money or attention. That's a BIG plus. And it's a bonus if it scares the yuppies away.
OK, ya got me! I already have a decorating theme in mind and know exactly what the outside needs and I WILL have my tin roof to hear the patter of raindrops.
Great poem with perfect closing line. It would be wonderful to have the skill to make a ramshackle cabin glorious again...but it requires more skill and patience than I was gifted!!
"an impractical fool

That's funny and what a beautiful picture. I would buy something like that straight away
I did in 2007...It is over 100 years old and I am still working on it...very slowly:)
ReplyDeleteOh dear! *Wry grin.* But sometimes you just gotta, don't you?
ReplyDeleteBeauty surely not only in the eye but also the mind of the beholder
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday Rall

ReplyDeleteIt is better to have bought than not or else you would have forever regretted it.

As long as it's not George Costanza !
DeleteA wonderful Sevenling, Rall, with a BLAMMO closer. C'est moi aussi
ReplyDeleteLove this Rall, and I can relate! It's me too!!
ReplyDeleteSometimes being impractical gives you acres of fun space.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an intriguing life/house project. :)

ReplyDeleteLOL! Yep.
ReplyDeleteI can always see the hidden beauty of a nice fixer-upper. So, the rocks-in-head club seems to be a very popular one.

ReplyDeleteNice claim at the ending. It has its charm.
ReplyDeleteOh me too. Show me a fixer upper and i'm all in. Smiles.
ReplyDelete...unless you want to get away from it all!
ReplyDeletenicer views can't be replaced but an old window can! Nice sevenling!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very nice picture/photograph.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
