Today, for the Blogging from A to Z Challenge and Sandee's Wordless Wednesday, I visit the United States state of South Carolina.
Before I get going, I want to pay tribute to South Carolinian Pearl Fryar, who died on April 4, 2026. My husband and I had the pleasure of meeting him in 2015. I blogged about it, and his special topiary garden in Bishopville, South Carolina, for the Blogging from A to Z Challenge in 2015. I invite you to read my post, which had some pictures of his works.
I also invite you to read this interview, if you are into gardening. Son of a sharecropper, this self-taught genius overcame prejudice and became world renowned. His death was reported by the Washington Post, New York Times, and CBS Sunday morning, among other news outlets.
Pearl Fryar, RIP. You proved that one man can overcome hate with love through Beauty.
