Last set of pics from VT (I think). Here are some pics from Hildene, the house of the son of Abraham Lincoln and family. The first pic is the back of the house, which is almost as impressive as the front.
Inside the house, in the library. Flash photos weren't allowed, but my cam rose to the challenge. I covet these bookshelves. My folding shelves from Staples, while nice, are woefully inadequate in comparison.
Here's a sandstone (?) sink in the kitchen. A similar (though more impressive) sink belongs to B's brother and sister-in-law and maimed his hand earlier in the summer. He has recovered, and their sink lives on as a planter.
Finally, a picture of the gardens. One of the daughters went to Europe and, upon her return, gifted this garden to her family. It sounded like the ultimate gift that keeps on giving.

not sure, but it might be a soapstone sink? I'd love to have one!
Soapstone! Yes, that's what it is. The one that belongs to B's brother was in his basement and weighs several hundred pounds - it's enormous!
