Convincing a friend to join me in a whirlwind tour of rural South Carolina today, the first full day of Spoleto, wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. The day was filled with black water and bald cypresses, swans, more japanese irises than I thought existed, and the most passionate gardener that I have ever met. It was nice driving through the corn fields (dry as they were) and small towns - sometimes I forget how much of my existence resides within a mile of the Atlantic Ocean.
More to come on irises and topiaries.
Wasn't it a glorious day? I skipped the crowds as well.

Joan: It was a beautiful day (I'm grateful that it wasn't terribly hot out) - it was definitely a treat to drive OUT of town, and not in...although I do hope to hit a few performances. In fact, I just got back tonight from a wonderful Pure Theatre play, Cloud Tectonics. It was wonderful.
