Recently, I removed the cobalt blue bottles from the bottle tree—at my trailer home. Those LARGE wine bottles represent a lot of money if I (we) went out to purchase the product. Some… were a gift (in Livingston) while some were my purchase and someone else drank the wine and returned the bottle. Conservatively, I could not duplicate those bottles for $100.00 (or more). I’ll replace the smaller cobalt blue bottles. Very few people will ever see the display on my balcony BUT  the bottles are part of who I am. (Peculiar??)

One day very soon, the painters will be finished with their job. I’ll be able to return a number of things to my balcony.

Bottle bushes and bottle trees are often referred to as “poor man’s stained glass.”
