The Airing of the Quilts and the Garden Club Tour of Homes is an annual event in Smithville, Texas. I picked up my camera and hit the road for a day trip. I took 297 photos; here are a few presentable ones. Not all my photos turned out; I’m still overexposing some.

As I arrived and got out of my car, I heard music. Live music. I followed the sound down a narrow entrance and it opened up into a patio. Live music at 9:30 a.m., yes, indeed. I didn’t get the name of the band, but I doubt that it is “Smoking Area.” I could hear their music all through the morning as I walked around looking at the quilts.

I spent all my time walking around downtown Smithville, taking photos of the quilts and old buildings. I didn’t make it to the Garden Tour of Homes. Maybe next year!
It's a long story ...
