We started the day with a visit from some wild turkeys, a rafter of four hens came for breakfast. We first spotted them outside our bedroom window. They stayed for quite a while gradually moving down the hill. Soon after that our friend Mary arrived with this week’s farm boxes that our two families split. Then the three of us headed off to Asheville on a day of adventures which included a trip to a fine fabrics store, lunch in Biltmore Village, the Asheville Quilt Guild show, a shopping trip to Earth Fare for some great groceries, and dessert at a TCBY frozen yogurt bar. Some fine adventures on a crispy cool autumn day topped off by dinner of Chicken Pot Pie from Earth Fare and tomatoes from our garden.
Burgh House Hampstead
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
Mmmm – tomatoes from the garden.
Yeah! An incredible taste sensation!
