I guess new ownership, or maybe just spring cleaning, and they found several unclaimed urns of ashes, body parts in jars, that sort of thing. It would definitely give me the shivers to live there, I know that.Mountainwordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011071025161667391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-70968557602138567982010-08-24T09:49:44.349-04:002010-08-24T09:49:44.349-04:00Actually, Jason, High Gate itself is still a funer...Actually, Jason, High Gate itself is still a funeral home. The event was held in the carriage house and on the grounds around the carriage house, which belongs to the city. When the funeral home ever decides to shut down, the city wants to buy the place, I heard. It would be a great museum, historical center, etc. As for ghosts--you know it has to have them. It looks like the owners of the funeral home live there too. They might have some tales to tell, if only they would.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-79482335256754381772010-08-24T08:39:01.746-04:002010-08-24T08:39:01.746-04:00First I agree with First50.

I like the baked kind, but instant would work. <br /><br />And I am a little envious of your going to High Gate. Did you know it was once a funeral home? It's very old and spooky, too - although I don't know of any ghost stories attached to it. I'm sure there is one. It is one of those places that simply NEEDS a ghost. <br /><br />I'm putting this festival on the list for next year. And if you're feeling up to it, I'll see you there!Mountainwordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011071025161667391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-5372081317799600532010-08-23T22:17:13.351-04:002010-08-23T22:17:13.351-04:00That's what Jaime said, Theresa--calcium.

She also has an automatic sprinkler that is a motion detector and comes on whenever it senses movement. Great deer deterrent. And water. So maybe the regular watering is also responsible for the lovely tomatoes. That and Jaime's green thumb.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-1647321826134612242010-08-23T19:56:50.096-04:002010-08-23T19:56:50.096-04:00Hmmm indeed, I wonder what the egg provided to the...Hmmm indeed, I wonder what the egg provided to the plant - calcium? It does look like a cool place to go and a tomato tasting sounds like just the thing for an August day.

They were huge and perfect, no cracks or blemishes. She said she put an egg at the bottom of the hole when she planted them.
