June is Festival of Flowers time!!!

Is this late Spring or early Summer?  Well, it is starting to feel like summer, except early in the morning and late in the day.  It has been a glorious Spring in my semi-tropical land.  Long days are upon us.  Most days the humidity has been low, well low-ish.  First white blooms on the crepe myrtle tree today.  Spring rains make a full pond.  At the end of yoga class my teacher says "Close your eyes.  Go to your special place, where you are always peaceful, always content, always at ease.  My backyard is definitely that place.

June in Greenwood is all about Festival of Flowers FUN!  Topiaries are up downtown and this year the Clemson tiger actually looks like a tiger to me.  I think last year I found it too late and the flowers had bloomed out so much it didn't look like anything, much less a tiger.
