The answer, of course, is, “It’s your fault if something happens because no one will do anything about the wild predator coming over your wall to eat your pet.”
Beautiful succulents.
White irises.
Little free library with an excellent selection of kids books. I know this because I’ve donated quite a few.
Alfie, waiting for her friend Mr. Toes to come at her by sticking his feet under the fence. Judging from their size, this dog is as big as a Clydesdale.
Lovely geranium mix.
Alfie’s quite the rebel. And yes, I always pick up after her.
…that I live in a place full of flowers, big skies, and barns! And it’s not just a hiking path behind a strip mall with a house that looks like a barn in the distance.
Greatest movie about the joys and trials of childhood, bar none. It’s enchanting, but the real magic is in the animation itself: the scenes that consist of silence and clouds, or an empty room set up for a family meal, the action of water over stones. It’s deeply immersive and a movie unlike any other. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Verdict: Inductee, Laurie’s Cinematic Hall of Fame
23. THE BIG COUNTRY (1958)
It’s not the best western I’ve ever seen, but it’s decently-written and well-acted by a stellar cast (I’m looking at you, Burl Ives), has spectacular cinematography and an iconic score. It takes it’s sweet time getting where it’s going, but the all-around display of competence makes it a pleasant enough ride. Verdict: A supercut of all of Burl Ives’ scenes would do just as well.
24. JESUS CHRIST, SUPERSTAR (1973)
This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I’ll just say it: this is one of the greatest of all movie musicals. The music, the voices, the stunning cinematography, the wonderfully creative direction…it’s just fantastic. The theology? Not so much. But what I wouldn’t give to see it on the big screen. Verdict: If theological propriety is what you demand, then I’d pass. But if not, give it a shot. Oh yeah, and Inductee, Laurie’s Cinematic Hall of Fame.
