Better Late Than Never

Citizens were ready for Main House President Dad to get back on the road again after his morning of fishing on the way home from travel. It was the day of the Garlic Festival. After driving through back roads, citizens were greeted by the inviting welcome of wildflowers at the entrance of the private farm. Our first smiling face came from a friend at her booth, where she was selling handmade jewelry. Excitement grew as Mayor Asher Ply Wood, Autumn Fern and Pastor Eli Hemlock spotted the chickens and the cows. Sarah Daffodil was drawn to the alpacas. Nathaniel Barn Loft was drawn to the sound of the stringed instruments.



With just a half hour left before the festival ended, everyone took in what they could. They learned about alpacas. Daffodil bought some hair for cornhusk dolls. Ply Wood, Fern and Hemlock walked through a garden maze and saw the cows up close. As the musical group packed up, Dad and Daffodil learned that garlic tastes a little different from other parts of the world. Daffodil bought four bulbs from Italy.
