New for 2011

Bright beginnings all around for 2011. Blinding, white snow and slippery ice covers everything around and we are waiting for a warm-up so the ice and snow will melt and life can return to normal. Georgia is unaccustomed to long term accumulations of snow and ice so we are at a standstill. But warmer temps are forecast soon.

Fall festivals in Georgia

Fall has arrived and that means festivals galore. North Georgia hosts a multitude of special festivals ranging from art and apples to beer and wine. Check out the 2009 Georgia Apple Festival in Ellijay, which runs the second and third weekends in October, for all things apple or discover the history of Georgia's gold mining days during Dahlonega Gold Rush Days running October 17 and 18.

The festivals provide food and fun while the changing of the leaves on the trees offer colorful vistas with every turn of the road. 

Back to the blog

After considerable time away from this blog---it is time to get down to business and continue my thoughts.

I recently moved into a new home in northern Georgia and I love the view outside my library window. Tall trees sway in the wind, naked of leaves but with hope of new growth to come with the approach of spring.
