Thoughts and opinions with a Southern point of view
Good morning, y’all. Well we scooted over to the Walmart in Blairsville to get our shopping in before the apocalypse of storms hit. We’re getting predictions of massive thunderstorms and combinations of hail and rain. One of the weather drones went on to say that while storm conditions were “moderate”, tornadoes were “likely”. I’m probably …
Good morning, y’all. It was another gorgeous day in the Georgia mountains. I might get in the post card business if this beautiful weather keeps up. I could even get involved in the Chamber of Commerce promoting our area. Of course if I’m successful, it just ruins it for all of the folks that moved …
Good morning, y’all. Another beautiful day in the mountains. The temperature is just right, and the recent rains cleared out enough pollen to make it tolerable. I was able to get my mulch spread and the weed and feed spread. It was a good workout without leaving me completely depleted. As long as the temperatures …
They say that one day they’ll be able to control the weather and make it rain where it needs it. I can’t comprehend that, but I couldn’t comprehend cell phones that are little computers a few years ago. The wrist phone was something only envisioned by the creator of Dick Tracey, and now we have …
I caught a news blurb about an old fellow that had been released from jail for a crime he didn’t commit. Jack McCullough, who is 76 years old, was released from prison after serving five years of a life sentence. Where all of this gets real curious is that McCullough was convicted in 2011 for …
Good morning, y’all. Another gorgeous day here in the mountains. It would be hard to ask for nicer days. It is starting to warm up a bit, but it hasn’t reached my 85 degree cutoff yet. It is my general practice to not work outside after the temperatures reach the mid-eighties. I don’t look good …
It was such a perfect day that I headed over to Tallulah Falls to see if they were still standing. Ha, ha. I’m happy to report that they are, and as beautiful as ever. I recommend the drive, even if it is a bit off of the beaten path. While in transit I noticed a …
Good morning, y’all. A little windy, but otherwise a perfect day here in the mountains. It looks like we’re going to have dry, pleasant weather for the next few days. That’s good, because I’m a little behind on my landscaping and my Spring “honey do’s”. I’m not sure if the list gets longer each year, …
Good morning, y’all. It looks like Spring is finally here. The March winds seem to have waited until April, but all other indications are on track for another record rise in global temperature. I’m hoping to get all of my landscaping squared away before it gets too hot to venture out. I even made a …
Good morning, y’all.The last of the sprinkles are moving through the area. It must be this hard wind that’s pushing them out. I can’t tell if the wind is coming from Canada or Texas. It’s a chilly wind, so I’ll guess it’s of a Northern nature. The winds coming from the Southwest are of a …
