Val-Kill, Royals, Tara Turf



FDR & Eleanor hosted the King/Queen of England at their home.  Appearances mattered greatly in this era.
.
A dip in Val-Kill's pool, above, was included amongst the entertainments.
.
Tara Turf touches the coping, trailing to a dirt path & wild wood.
.
Contemporaneously with pioneering Tara Turf it was intuitive, Tara Turf is a status symbol.
.
Garden & Be Well,   XO Tara
.
Put, This I Remember, by Eleanor Roosevelt on your list if you haven't read it yet.  Cote de Texas has more about the royal's visit with Roosevelt's, here.
.
Amazing path, Tara Turf as status symbol.  A meadow or pasture, life itself, are merely empty spaces to be taken at whim for financial gain in popular culture.  Truly heart rending.
.
If you want a beautiful garden & home filling you with joy, and causes you to tap the brake pedal, as you look in the rear view mirror heading out, become my client, local or on-line.

I have a vague recollection of what turf looks like...under feet of snow. :(
I would even kiss a WEED right now! I am NOT joking!
