Thanks brokeplex!

Do you and others, know that petals of roses can be eaten?

Used like in making jams?

But I do NOT think that all roses can be used... as some can be dangerous ??

Wonder which rose would be to make Ennis' garden? Jack's? To make their roles more real? Maybe even in BM  II?? Dare I hope!

Au revoir,
huigs!

I can see Ennis and Jack living together and having a rose garden!

And here are some red roses for them to make them like very damn real in that garden!

Hugs!

Why these?

They look like climbers to me.

And Ennis and Jack did climb that Brokeback Mountain, remember?

In order to make it a more real story, did Annie mention roses?

Au revoir,
hugs!

I think it would have been more practical.A vegetable garden.Milk and beef from the cow and calf operation and of course fish!!!!!!
But I like your flower pictures anyway.So carry on,they bring colour into my days.

Yes?

Qui fait quoi?

Ennis does what?

Jack does what?

Of course, both would fish!! ?? HA! HA!

Hugs! And one Julia Child Rose for their child they would adopt? Or Jack would have his son every two weeks??

No, he doesn't, I guess partly because he doesn't figure very prominently in the story, except of course it's Aguirre who brings them down off the mountain early. I can't understand his attitudes (though I recognise there's plenty of people out there who share his attitudes), in that it's not something I can relate to, so I find it difficult to get inside his head, and therefore he doesn't seem as real to me, not in the same way Ennis and Jack are.

for their child they would adopt? Or Jack would have his son every two weeks??

Jack would have his son every once in a while. I like MAdLori's "Human Interest/Two Crows Joy" fanfics though, where Alma Jnr ends up living with them on their ranch, where she has a good relationship with both of them and Jack treats her as his own daughter, not just Ennis's daughter.

Maybe He's the incarnation of intolerance,lack of respect and a very distorted way of seeing what a man must be.For me,he could be more a symbolism.

There's another fanfic where both of them spend Christmas time with Bobby,whom they considered as "their boy",since Ennis always wanted to have one.And they're like a real family during these days.It's very touching. :)
I like your silences,quiet conversations of evident sensations,where our words are lifeĀ“s tinsels.
The lost illusions are the found truths.

Thanks bliss, thanks optom, thanks myprivatejack!!!

Ennis always wanted a boy ?

Any proof of that wanting?

Hugs! Or is that because Ennis seems very damn real to us and we imagine him wanting a male child, since he has girls only with Alma... as his children ?? !!
