What is it???

♥

Last summer, we watched this being built....  In the side yard of one of the big houses, on North Broadway....

♥

See the big house, to the left of this pic?  And see the "what-ever-it-is", to the right of this pic, under tree branches?  This is all the same property.

First, I said a Folly!  Well, some kind of a Folly.  It actually resembles a castle fortification.  But for what purpose, was it built?  ♥   I know, a Folly doesn't have to have a purpose.  But I always thought of them as being more picturesque.  To me, this is hardly picturesque.  But then, I'm not the one who had it built.

♥

Yup, only one way to find out.  Come Summer, when the owners are in residence, I need to make my way to the front door, and ask.

♥

Another funny thing is, I have toured that very home, years ago.  My then BFF was in Real Estate and she was nutty like me, and she made-believe I was a buyer...  And we toured the ding-dang big place, by ourselves.  :-)  

♥

Those were fun days.  Friendship with Sally provided me with lots of memories.  ,-)  She's the only one I ever came across, who could bring out my as-yet-latent fun/nutty/wild ways.  ,-)  Wonder what would have transpired, if she had lived, and if we had gotten together, after I had my "Become Whom I Really Am" transition, in my 60's?  Mmmm, it's probably a good thing, that never happened.  Back then, I was a little brake on her.  Now...  No brakes on either of us.  Yikes!!!!!  -grin-

Well, I watched the pre-Oscars Red Carpet and was very *UNDERWHELMED*.  Bring back Joan and Mellisa Rivers, if they want an interesting live Red Carpet show!   Borrrrring...  Bleahhhh...   Well, just the visuals were.  I did not turn the sound up, except to listen to Sandra Bullock's interview.

Looked at some photos of "Best-Worst Dressed," this morning.  Checked to see if...

Rob and Kristen were in attendance. 
They were not.  They just attended some pre-Oscar parties.
♥  

How very refreshing!  They are one of the hottest Hollywood Couples now.  And they do not, not, not flaunt themselves, at the Oscars, etc.  Wow!  How refreshing is that?  How unheard of, is that? 
♥
But to me, it's quite nice.  :-)

I know!  I know!  I should ask about last night's episode of "DA"!  Because lots of Dear Readers follow that.  I'm sure it was thrilling, per usual.

Yes, I have watched such,  in my day.  Does anyone remember
 "The Forsyte Saga"??????  The original one!

I quote:  "In early 1967 the BBC aired a 26-episode costume drama called The Forsyte Saga. On Sunday nights, when the Saga was on, social life stopped. Dinner parties were scheduled around it, and vespers at some churches was moved to allow churchgoers to watch. When the show was aired in the US on PBS, it was just as much of a success. The public's appetite for more costume drama inspired Masterpiece Theater. It was nothing more than high-class soap, but it was well-acted high-class soap."  
♥
So see?  You who have been enjoying Masterpiece Theater, for years  ---  It was my (and lots of others) watching of The Forsyte Saga, way back in the '60's'...  Which produced Masterpiece Theater.  :-)

You may leave your impressed thanks, in comments.

"May night had fallen soft and warm, 

enwrapping with its grape-bloom colour and its scents 

the billion caprices, intrigues, passions, longings, 

and regrets of men and women."
