Am I in Kansas? No! This photo was taken in the Ball Ground area in North Georgia. The beauty of our mountains is as soon as some one finds some flat land it is farmed. These Sun flowers are just wonderful to see. This is a rather large field near the Etowah River

I am going to make a prediction. Yes I really am the illegitimate child of Nostradamus 14 generations removed!. Or at least some one who watch the amazing Karnak on Johnny Carson. Here it is . Many, many, many, buyers are going to get shut out on the 8k credit because they are going to wait till the last minute. Closing attorneys and banks are going to be even more backed up in this rush and the deadlines are going to be missed. Unless of course the government extends. But the crystal is cloudy on this subject. So tell the fence sitters come September 30 days may not be enough time to close if you are getting a loan.

I see it coming

I need more than one Camera. The other day when a mother Turkey and her chicks walked across the road and I did not have my camera I vowed to keep my camera in my car. That worked well as I was able to post Bear photos earlier this month. But then a fawn walked across my yard and the camera was in the car ARRGGGHHHH.

I need more than one camera to show you all the great things going on in the North Georgia Mountains

The old homestead stands silently as a sentinel over looking fields and the pristine Etowah River.

For 11 years I have been driving down the road that the sentinel stands watch over. The old homestead is in Cherokee county . Near the Etowah river. It conjures up images of native peoples who no longer live on this land. It is in fields and was obviously a farm house at one time. Who were the people who farmed there and raised their family? A few years ago a for sale sign appeared on the land. The acreage that the sentinel stood watch over sold. What would happen ? Would the farm and the beauty of the land become a victim of sprawl?

One thing the farm had going for it was it was flat and the Etowah river. We are trying to keep this natural and beautiful river as pritine as possible. So New development went in.

The community became an Equestrian neighborhood. This beautiful executive home is 1.4 million and sits on 7 acres bordering the Etowah River

All around the large lots is a defined riding trail in this beautiful community

As you are riding these are some of the views that you see. Each home site is large and fenced in with the fencing you see in the picture. Behind many of the homes is the beautiful Etowah River

If you are looking to move to Atlanta and looking for that great country home. This community is beautiful and convenient to many areas of Metro Atlanta.

So the Sentinel stand over what was farmland. It has stood through flood, storms, and all kinds of weather for at LEAST the 11 years I have seen it. I like to think that the folks that now own the land are good stewards. They understand it's beauty and have not put in tract homes. They have used the beauty and respected nature in creating this community. I think the sentinel is proud, and happy, and that is why it still stands.
