To soothe our souls, and because we are tired of waiting for better areas closer to the doors of the house to be ready, we went to the garden center on US 441 near Webster yesterday and got a garden box, compost, manure, and plants – both vegetable and ornamental. This morning we planted our first North Carolina garden on up behind the house. We’ll be able to see it from our bedroom window and easily access it via the new stone steps. Â Don’t know how much food we will get from it but it should be fun to eat squash, cukes, tomatoes, and peppers from our own little 4Ã4 plot.
Caligula at Strawberry Hill
The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
