There are so many of you polyglot bloggers out there that I am ashamed at my lack of languages. I have a little Spanish (rusty with long disuse,) a minuscule speck of French, and a one time acquaintance with classic Latin. I hang my head in shame.<br /><br />I haven't been to the Biltmore is quite a few years -- I always loved seeing the servants' areas: kitchen, laundry, pantry. So amazing. I look forward to reading your post on it.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-85097910651023890282009-09-07T22:52:56.866-04:002009-09-07T22:52:56.866-04:00Thank you so very much for your kind words on your...Thank you so very much for your kind words on your blog about my posts. Now I am going to have to watch what I write knowing that a writer is reading my posts– how scary. Be indulgent with me as English is not my mother tongue. We just went to Asheville a week ago to visit friends and revisit the Biltmore (which we had not seen since the early 80s.) It is such a magnificent place. I took many pictures and shall make a post on this visit in the future. Your photographs are excellent. I marveled at the color and configuration of your velvet okra – I had never seen okra of this color before and the shape is quite unusual.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-90393880778345711722009-09-07T14:28:01.253-04:002009-09-07T14:28:01.253-04:00I saw the netsukes and I love them!

I am very touched.<br />You do live in an enchanted world. Of course it helps to be observant and sensitive to the beauty around you. The images you showed are lovely, as if all the things you showed were alive and breathed very softly. The okra pod is a little animal, he could be found in a tree in Africa.Celeste Maiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08683512170853367791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-67958949078289318582009-09-07T09:27:32.297-04:002009-09-07T09:27:32.297-04:00Wow, that okra pod is a work of art!Wow, that okra pod is a work of art!Tess Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889725786678984293noreply@blogger.com
