The Flower Town Festival - Summerville
Sunday, April 05, 2009
Every year, at The Flower Town Festival, I try to peek around, and find little nature miracles.I love Wisteria.
In some areas, of the World, people look for Tulips, Hyacinth, or Daffodils, to naturally speak, "Spring."
In Summerville, I look for Wisteria.
As you drive, around town, the Wisteria peeks out, at you, in the midst of often, ignored, jungle-type areas, of forest.
(This is, also, why my favorite flower is the Morning Glory. It appears, as God's personal miracle, in a dense, ignored, and avoided part of our world.)

Spring is, also, the time, of year, when the Azalea's start to scream, out loud,
"Here I am! See me."
Azalea Park is a beautiful back-drop, to The Flower Town Festival.
The craft booths, set up in the pasture, were a little more pleasant, to walk through. The rain didn't make anything easy, in that section, of the festival, though. I was told, that there was a large flow, of water, like a dam had broken, rushed through that area, late Friday night, and some crafter's were unsure if they'd be able to set up, their booths, on Saturday morning.
As much as I cringed, at the waste of the plywood floors, set down, in the walk ways, I was, also, very grateful to be able to peruse the booths, this year. Last year, I was too worried, that I'd slip, and be sitting in all that swampy mud.
Our Fudge Friends, we brought home, from Ginny's Fudge, include the flavors:
- Cookies N Cream
- Death by Fudge
- Milk Chocolate
- Lemon Meringue
- Snickers
- Heath Bar
- Butterfinger
- Cookie Dough
We decided that our favorite "eat," at "a Taste of Summerville," was Shrimp Burgers, with Chipotle Mayo, and Hush Puppies, from Gilligan's, of Summerville. Definitely Blue-Ribbon material..
We, also, enjoyed Root Beer, Birch Beer, Sarsaparilla, and Vanilla Cream Soda, from Wild Bill's Old Fashioned Soda Pop Company.
I added some "Believe" items, to my collection, from "By My Hands Mosaics."
We shared the most sinful crepe, from Charleston Crepe Company, with Nutella and Fresh Strawberries. The first flavor, I want to try, from them, at The Charleston Farmer's Market, next Saturday, is Caramel and Banana.
