Greenville, SC: Some have wickedness thrust upon them

Some scenes from Friday night, when a friend from Asheville came down for my birthday and she, my husband, and I went out to eat before attending a performance of Wicked at the Peace Center.

We went to a Persian restaurant, of all places, where I forgot to take a photo of the entree until halfway through. But honestly I think I enjoyed the appetizers and the dessert better. The dessert is pistachio, saffron, and rose ice cream with pomegranate syrup.



















And now, a selection of things I noticed blooming in my gardens after I got home from work on Saturday, my actual birthday, plus how my birthday ended: supper at my favorite restaurant and a severe thunderstorm warning.
