While my camera is still out from yesterday

and while I'm watching and waiting for Roger Stone to get his toothbrush, and Atty. General Barr to get the Mueller report, and waiting for Dyedinthewoolliberal to post the finals for February I wandered aimlessly and took a couple of pictures in the house....

1. Very nice Mira.

Lovely photos. The rose looks like it's made of paper.

9. I know

It’s a thank you rose someone left on my porch after a dinner invitations. It was left two weeks ago. Since then I smelled it, fingered it, asked it. And it tells me it is real.

2. These are wonderful, my dear Mira!

The rose is exquisite and the hanging glass is so amazing.

Thank you for sharing your world with us!

4. It's a glass Christmas ornament

I bought it in the gift shop at Biltmore in Asheville. Former home of the Vanderbilts, and supposedly the of largest single family home ever built.

5. I went there about 10 years ago and it was impressive!

Asheville was a nice artsy town too.

7. You would not believe the changes in Asheville since 10 years ago.

It is now a tourist town akin to Jackson Hole, Key West and Palm Springs. Lovely. Expensive. And the locals are not happy about that their industry is mostly service to tourists.

6. Biltmore is beautiful at Christmas

Just over the mountains from us.

8. Yes it is.

A magnificent destination for Christmas, decorated with much taste and opulence.

I especially like the glass ornament.

Our surroundings offer great photographic opportunities!
