Mugs, Berries, and Gravel

Family

It’s Saturday. It’s May. It’s strawberry season in the mountains. We scurried to the Sylva Farmer’s Market this morning to snap two gallons of strawberries from Shelton Farms then headed to Dillsboro and the Seconds Sale at Riverwood Pottery for some coffee mugs for house party guests and other treasures. And this afternoon we made three trips to Lowe’s for bags of gravel for the road. It seems the Mother nature saw fit to dump great quantities of rain on our mountain recently. When the creek jumped it’s banks it ran down the middle of the road. So now in our chess game with Mother Nature, it’s our turn to repair the road and dig some trenches to direct water back into the creek.

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.

Wicked The Musical

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
