To the east of my family’s four acres in Sawyerville was the enormous yard of Umbria Plantation with its old raised cottage sitting way back from the highway.
The front gate to Umbria Plantation was about a quarter of a mile east of the house where we lived, where I live now. You’d go through the brick gates and the driveway would dip down before rising to the house set back behind two enormous magnolias. Where the driveway began to curve to the left you would look straight up the walk to the wide steps leading from the ground up to the wide veranda that ran across the front of the house. |
