The sun is shining. The sky is blue. We're in the mountains. Wish you were here,too! Seriously, this is a great weekend to hop in the car and ride up to Georgia's Mountain Lakes.  The leaves aren't yet on the trees and you can see forever! If you would like to ride through and see Waterfall at Lake Burton - let me know.  I'll be here all weekend. Take 985 toward Gainesville and keep on coming to Clayton. Take a left onto Ga Highway 76 and head west for 10 miles.  You'll cross over a bridge over Lake Burton and then Waterfall will be on your right. Hope to see you!   03/05/2009

The next fellow told me that trees covered in white blossoms were dogwoods.  Now, I definitely knew better than that.  Having lived in the south all my life, not only do I know a dogwood when it is bl... 03/02/2009
