And, here is the finished page of "Two Twisted Posts," with a drawing of the symbolic gate. In reality only one of the posts had a twist when I was there and so this is an "artist's conception." The twisters were some sort of vine, but not a grapevine. The Wine Team really enjoyed their visit to the Twisted Posts and the wine was excellent. As for the Masonic element,(see text on color page) I'm just guessing but Masonic symbology does have an open gateway with two pillars to go through, and a globe on top of each pillar. And the timing is right; Freemasonry was just getting its start in England and would inspire American ideas of freedom and equality all while drinking wine poured from a ceramic jug.

Reminds me of the garden arch in my late father's garden, leading to a path between two large beds.
