I took this on my drive home tonight. We were coasting along, not going very fast at all, so I held up my camera phone and took a picture without looking through the viewfinder. A little crooked, but I actually got the horses in the shot!! lol

Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds

We took a ride north to the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds for the Hiawassee Festival of Arts. There were many booths containing one-of-a-kind jewelry, oil paintings, framed water colors, both framed and unframed photographs, oh, and many, many with pottery and still more with polished wooden bowls. Very talented people, every one of them. Very pricey, too, I might add.

We didn't purchase anything, although I did like one man's collection of wildlife photographs. The matted and framed photos were reasonably priced. But, when I think about it, I have a zillion photos I can enlarge and frame myself .... I really should think about doing that, instead of buying someone else's to hang on my wall.

It was an enjoyable day, though still too warm to be out in the sun, but quite pleasant in the shade (see pic below). It wasn't at all crowded --- good for us, bad for them! It was also refreshing to do something other than the usual weekend chores ... although it only delayed them ... hubby is outside mowing the lawn and I'll start in on the laundry when I'm finished with this blog!

Quiz: In the sign below, what gives it away that I am in the South? (I'll give you a chance to respond, and then I'll post my answers later):

What causes us to dream what we dream and when?

I am prompted to write about this because I dreamt about an old boyfriend the other night. A person I haven't thought about in, oh, probably 20 years. Why, all of a sudden, would I dream about him? And, maybe more importantly, remember the dream? ... because I rarely remember what I've dreamt about. (I was visiting him and his wife in their kitchen .... or what my interpretation of his wife and home is.... as I don't know where he lives or if he's even married....)

A part of me wonders if he's okay. Did something happen to him or a family member? And another part of me feels guilty for even thinking about him. Which I find very strange! There's nothing to feel guilty about LOL

More questions that will never be answered.... just another strange dream....

You Are A Chestnut Tree

You are a born diplomat with a well developed sense of justice. And even though you're impressive and intimidating, you're also fun to be around. You can be irritated easily, and you sometimes act superior. Nevertheless, you are sensitive of others feelings and very loyal. Sometimes you feel misunderstood and are fiercely close to those who know you best.

What's Your Celtic Horoscope?

Oh, how I wish I was here:

It's still August, right?

It is only August, isn't it? Atlanta is experiencing fierce, summer storms, and it's averaging 95 degrees Farenheit with 100% humidty .... yet I receive a magazine with this on the cover:


Even though fall is my favorite season, I'd like to get through summer and not rush the whole year just to get to it!

(but the picture IS really nice!!)

I found another route to work. Hardly any red lights, which is very hard to believe! And because of that, I haven't seen any fender benders!! AND I am driving past farmland again. Aahhh, a nice relaxing commute.

Now, I wonder how long before the construction follows and rips up the beautiful countryside???
