| George Washington's desk and chair. |
Georges' chair looks well enough padded but not terribly ergonomic. There must be some nice autumn tree colour now.
ReplyDeleteThe color is at it's peak,
DeleteThe fifth picture scared the shit out of me. I thought I could see the ghost of George Washington in the glass but then I realised it was just your reflection. Suddenly, my fear doubled.
ReplyDeleteFear not the ghosts of the past, it is the living who are out to get you.
DeleteLove the first photo; Autumn has arrived!
ReplyDeleteAnd I aklways love a picture looking out a window for some reason!
The New Room has a great window.
DeleteVery nice pictures. Seems like years since I've been there. If I ever come down you and I will have to walk there.
ReplyDeleteI have guest passes.
DeleteWhat a beautiful fall walk and what a project. Lots of research went into the restoration.
ReplyDeleteThey are hoping to finish the restoration work this winter.
DeleteGeorge must be rolling in his grave these days.
ReplyDeleteThe original no Kings leader.
DeleteWhat a great tour and great photos. I especially like the first one with those fall colors bursting out.
ReplyDeleteI am walking out there about once a week, the trees are just past the peak of color and we had a hard freeze last night.
DeleteThank goodness the current president hasn't been involved in the restoration.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what George would think of you know who.
Mt Vernon was saved by a committee of women, is privately owned by a foundation, and does not accept government funding. It has remained open, while most of DC is shut down.
