Monticello in Pictures

Sept. 16th

In no particular order, because Blogger is a pain, and I can't easily rearrange them.

Thomas Jefferson had the hillside leveled on the east side of his mountain for the favorable climate. 

The passageway beneath the main house, down which the cooks had to carry the hot food.

Loved the glimpses of the gardens through the passageway windows.

The Jefferson family cemetery on the property.

The doors down the left wall here are to the kitchen, store room and similar.

Thomas Jefferson's handwriting duplicator.

The walk from the house down to the parking area was beautiful.

Kiss-Me-Over-The-Garden-Gate (the flower in the foreground).

The handrails down to the vegetable garden were worn very smooth.

Contemplating his first move at the Discovery Center.

Reading Thomas Jefferson's books from his rotating book stand.

So fun to make two pictures at once.

Testing out the iron.

The kitchen below the house. There were six 'burners' against the wall,
where the cooks could put coals beneath grates.

Approaching the only home in America listed on the World Heritage List.
