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.
Fenton House and Spaniards Inn
A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
