We left around 1100 for Walmart and groceries. We also stopped at a produce stand for tomatoes, cucumbers and zucchini. We got back around 1330. The rest of the afternoon we sat around the MH.
Now more from the Ringling Mansion.
This is the bird cage Mable kept her Macaw in.
The dining room table
Door trim
Pieces of furniture
Mabel’s porcelain bath tub. See the 4 faucets. She had hot and cold running water and salt water.
The foyer ceiling and a view of part ot the foyer from the second floor balcony. The painted boards are cyprus.
The new electric stove and the old gas stove. The cook requested the gas stove be brought over from the old house.Even the handrails are marble
Now we will head outside to the Grounds and Gardens
Mabel’s secret garden. If you walk down the path in the garden, you will come to the graves of John, Mabel and John’s sister
A Cactus
This is a banyan tree. Runners come off of the branches and root themselves. This started out as one tree.
See how the runners have surrounded the statue
The following pictures are from the rose garden. The 27,225 sq. ft. garden was completed in 1913 and is patterned after a traditional Italian circular design. There were originally 1200 plants.
That’s it for today. Tomorrow we will get to the Circus Museums
