The rain and gloom have gone and Fall is here. We decided to ramble around the roads south of the Pitt yesterday. Pat found the "House in the Horseshoe" on the map and wanted to go see what it was....well, it is closed on Sunday but is a home where a North Carolina revolutionary, Philip Alston, resided. http://www.nchistoricsites.org/horsesho/HORSESHO.HTM . Though we did not get to go in it is very typical of the "ordinary" dwelling indicative of colonial NC. Missing, for the most part, from this state are the elegant, colonial homes found in South Carolina and Virginia.
After not seeing the House in the Horseshoe we drove to Pinehurst. What a beautiful little village. Golf of course rules, but the houses are beautiful and cute little shops abound.
