Geminid Meteor Shower - Proof I Made the Right Choice

Last night I witnessed a true spectacle of Nature.  We sat in our front of  our home in Big Canoe, husband and wife, and sipped wine in the chilled air while small grains of cosmic dust burst into fiery streaks of flame that blazed across the North Georgia sky.   About 2 AM, we decided it was definitely time for bed, but both felt we should share our experience.  We also talked about how happy we were in our decision to move away from the 'burbs to the North Georgia mountains of Big Canoe.

We added an entry to our site blog "Life in Big Canoe, Real Estate in the Mountains".  Until last night, we had never seen anything quite like that. It was really one of those unusual moments in life where you get to witness something sublime.  Prior to living in Big Canoe, we lived in suburban metro Atlanta.  While you could see the sky at night....you could not really see the stars in any detail.  Certainly, seeing a meteor would have been difficult.  There were simply too many lights at night washing away the details of the sky.

My point is this.  There are times I really miss the conveniences of the suburbs.  Starbucks (one I really miss), nearby groceries, drug stores, or the mall are all a  pretty good drive for us now.  I also know that living in the mountains of North Georgia is not for everyone.  But, after witnessing that incredible display of natural beauty last night, I can say with no hesitation we made the right choice.  I'll take that gorgeous and exhilarating experience from last night anytime over the mall...or even Starbucks.  Wishing you all Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!
