Hi beautiful ladies and handsome gents. Do you love knights and chivalry and ladies as much as I do? Knights and ladies in armor. Women in flowing gowns. Fighting for justice and honor. Here are some photos I found on X and Truth Social. I also love PreRaphaelite painters, and they often use knights and ladies in their paintings. I discovered them when visiting the Tate Gallery in London and they have become my favorite painters.
These two paintings are not PreRaphaelite and may be AI generated. In England my husband and I visited the dramatic site of Tintagel Castle, said to be the castle of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. It is worth a visit. It is perched on cliffs near the water and looks easily defensible.
What have you been up to? From my previous post you can see that this spring I am out in the garden and planting and weeding and pruning. At my age I prune or weed or plant for 15 minutes and then go in the house to read or watch TV. If you are younger you likely have lots of energy, as I used to. Gardening brings me joy, does it you?

So far I’m allowing the perennials to show off their color. I don’t have the energy that I used to either.
I used to love watching that program, Terra, and am happy to know about the books, too. I don't garden much any more, but enjoy everything that our natural landscape has to offer in the spring. Have a blessed day!
I do love my garden
My husband loves gardening and I love enjoying what he does out there!
I never heard of that show, and will have to look it up.
I visited Tintagel back in my teens on one of our family trips in Britain, not sure if in 1971 or 74 (too tired just now to check my albums). One of those places that still stick in my mind as well! Have you read Mary Stewart's novels about Merlin and Arthur, starting with the Crystal Cave? I read those when they were fairly new in the 1970s and several times again over the decades.
Received your Easter card today, thanks!!
I also love the - in German you say: "Präraffaeliten" !
With not too much power and some brakes you will enjoy a wonderful garden. This is the right way for a wise old woman. To play with earth makes happy, I heard.
Many greetings from Dori from the Bavarian Forest
Oh love the paintings. One of the blessings of living in our Treehouse, is the maintenance of the complex is done without our help. We just get to enjoy it. I'm afraid my knees wouldn't let me garden or pull weeds at this point. But I love sitting on the balcony and seeing the trees, the birds the breeze, and butterflies and humming birds flitting around. Life is good here.
I love gardening vegetables, fruit and flowers. Thank-you for the information on the book.
Catherine
