“You must tune everything else out and create from your heart."
I nod, dipping my brush in red acrylic, then white, before mixing the paints on the palette until they form a perfect pink.
I paint a peony, and then another. I somehow recall a garden, far away from here, where there were peonies. I remember the way the blossoms are so heavy that they flounce over, and I reach for another brush and dip it into green to get the stems just right.”
― Sarah Jio, All the Flowers in Paris

“And how do you know that you're mad? "To begin with," said the Cat, "a dog's not mad. You grant that?" I suppose so, said Alice. "Well then," the Cat went on, "you see a dog growls when it's angry, and wags it's tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland / Through the Looking-Glass

The Claremont House is in the series Stranger Things.
Gothic Second Empire Victorian Architecture 1882’
Hamilton Yancey, Claremont’s original owner, was too young to serve in the Civil War – being only 12 to 16 in 1860-1864. But his family dubbed him “Colonel” as a young boy. He and Florence had 8 children, although their daughter Julia died at the age of 4. The other 7 had a grand time romping around the 8000 square feet of space, but their rooms were in the attic with the servants. The family lived in the cottage out back during the construction, so they had a close vantage point for every phase. The cottage now contains two of the inn’s guestrooms with a small kitchen and a bathroom. Hamilton Yancey is buried in Myrtle Hill Cemetery, which sits atop one of Rome’s seven hills.
Claremont was named for Mrs. Yancey’s beloved cousin, Clare de Graffenried, and their youngest daughter was also named Clare. The mansard roof, slate tiles and 14-foot ceilings are typical of the style of architecture, but the ornate gingerbread trim was very unusual in the South at that time. It was said to have been brought down by northern builders who were familiar with it in other parts of the country.

“Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?”
