This meme is called 2017 September's Where I Come From Challenge
This challenge is based on Kenny Chesney's song "Back Where I Come From".
Suzanne over at PS-Annie! and McClendon villa has included home-and hometown-related questions to round out our 30 days of posts.
Come on and join in. It will be a blast.
Today’s question is:
21. Were there any flowers growing in your yard back home? What kind? Were you or your parents good gardeners?
Yes. In our house in Inman, South Carolina, we had a beautiful garden. Our family
had visited Andrew Jackson’s home known as The Hermitage. It had a garden that looked like a wagon wheel. The spokes and hub were paths. The spaces between the spokes were the gardens. There was a birdbath where the axle would be.
Hummingbirds and butterflies loved to visit that garden. We had a bird feeder in the yard and wild cherry trees. The bird would eat the wild cherries and get drunk. Usually, they would find a perch to sit on until they got sober. They would sit as still as possible. Occasionally, a bird would get drunk and fly into a window and kill itself. That was sad.
When we moved to Iva, South Carolina, we had some flowers in the yard but not nearly as many as we had in Inman.
Very nice photo of your childhood home.
