PSA: if you like period pieces and you haven‘t seen it yet, you MUST watch The Gilded Age on HBO. The costumes are fabulous & the cast is excellent. Mr. George Russell here (Morgan Spector) has been dubbed Railroad Daddy by the fans & it is very fitting!! 🥵😏😆 Lort, that man. 🥵🥵🥵😋

The union may call him
Robber Barron — but we call
him Railroad Daddy. 😉

AnnCrystal @JenlovesJT47 that show does look addictive worthy. You mentioned that you live in New York?? It must be wild to see any historical movie based in your city. I know I love it when Los Angeles is featured ☺️👌🏼🎬💝. 1w
JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal I live in central Florida, close to Disney. I did post yesterday about NYC but I‘ve never been there — although I feel like I‘ve been there a thousand times in books and movies ☺️ I would LOVE to see a historical show set in this area. The closest I‘ve got is Dexter & The Golden Girls 😁 And L.A. is a great city! I lived about an hour away from LAX for 2 years in college. Got to see a couple of Dodgers games. Cali is beautiful. ♥️ 1w
AnnCrystal @JenlovesJT47 🆒 movies and books allows is to venture anywhere ☺️👌🏼💝💝💝. 1w
Amiable @JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal The Gilded Age is so good! I‘m also a fan. Did you know that large parts of it are filmed at the mansions in Newport, RI? 1w
JenlovesJT47 @Amiable the scenery is stunning and the costumes are 🤌🏻. Mrs. Russell‘s dresses are 😍😍😍 — well, all of them really, but hers are the best! ♥️ 1w
Amiable @JenlovesJT47 I do love George Russell, too. That man can buy a copper mine from me anytime. 😄 (edited) 1w

dabbe A historical haiku! I love this time period, and now I want to read Edith Wharton again. 🖤🐝💛 1w
lil1inblue Railroad daddy... I hadn't heard that before, but damn it fits! 🔥 🔥 🔥 1w
julieclair Ooohhhh…. I haven‘t seen The Gilded Age, but I can tell I will love it!!! 😀 A few posts back, you asked about our favorite time periods to live in, and I think the gilded age would be mine. ⭐️ 2d
JenlovesJT47 @julieclair it‘s so good!! I decided to do a rewatch so I haven‘t watched the two newest episodes yet and I keep dodging spoilers right and left. 😆 it‘s a great show! ♥️♥️♥️ 2d

“My” sweet hummingbird, loves my garden‘s bee balm. I have a perfect view of him from my porch. The hummingbird‘s presence is reminding me of the tagged book which I started long ago. Now I feel a pull to return to it. #porchlife #hummingbird

Tamra I love bee balm! Always makes me think of Dr. Seuss characters. 😂 1w

“ I soon discovered that almost all the actors I‘d begun to assemble on my little stage…were fanatical about hummingbirds…my attempts to trace the origins of this informal cult of hummingbirds,kept leading back to the Civil War…American during and after the Civil War gradually left behind a static view of existence…they came to see a new dynamism and movement in their lives…This dynamism… found perfect expression in the hummingbird.”

julieclair This is fascinating! 3mo
