The Flower Town Festival - Summerville

wisteriaEvery 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.)azalea300

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 noshed, well, at "a Taste of Summerville."

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.
