If you're wondering, it's a door-handle

You might be battling to understand the photo. I took it at the same time as I took the door-mat that featured in my last post. It’s actually a piece of root that is somehow fastened to a glass door and acts as a door-handle. There is something similar on the other side.
These people live in another idyllic locality with steep hills and valleys. I’d love to house-sit for them but I think there is too much work there. They have a lot of garden and a large number of pot plants – oops, sorry, @DaddyEvil – potted plants and also dozens of bonsai, although the latter wouldn’t take much looking after.

I don't mind what you, or they, do with pot plants... as long as you keep the plant and the smoke away from me. (I'm allergic to both.)
That's a very interesting door handle, though. I wonder how they thought of that?

That door handle should qualify as the 9th or 10th wonder of the world!!
Someone is highly imaginative !!
But I myself would never want such a door handle.
One more thing : If one can dismantle this door handle fast enough, it can also be used as a heavy weight weapon!!

This Handle is something that could be covered by Travel channels perhaps!

That's pretty unique, are you sure it won't sprout out some new shoots if it gets wet?

It might sprout when wet but I think they wouldn't allow that

That's creative. I noticed that the handle is not that smooth. Will it hurt the hands?

Those are very cool. I appreciate the “no waste” attitude, too: can’t use it for anything else, so make a door handle out of it!

That is a different door handle.
Most plants, even pot errr potted ones wont die in a week unless you flood them fully So I think you could do it ok.

That looks antique though rough.

@aninditasen They had some iron ornaments and the door mat that I wrote about earlier. I only took a photo of the mat.

That's really a very unique door handle and I never would have guessed what it was. They certainly have an interesting bunch of stuff for you to share with us

@Marilynda1225 This wasn't where we house-sat but a nearby friend's. It would be a lovely place to house-sit but I don't think they go away too often. There is just so much of everything as regards garden and watering.

That has to be the oddest door handle I have ever seen. Not my style at all, but I suppose if it is functional, and fits the decor? Why not, right?
I'd avoid too much work too. I don't mind working. I just don't like working as hard I used to have to now that I don't have to. lol
