In mid to late October, the fall foliage colors will peak in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Nearly two million visitors will travel to the Park to experience the most colorful season of the year!
In addition to autumn leaf color, fall is also a great time for wildlife viewing. Visitors are treated to deer, bear and elk in their natural habitats. A lucky few will see wolves, coyotes or bobcats too.
And although the park is crowded, there are still quiet places to get away from all of the hustle and bustle of the myriad of tourists. There are many less traveled trails and nature paths that can bring you face to face with the beauty of creation.
It's my favorite place in the world. It renews my spirit and revitalizes my soul!
After the record breaking floods in the Atlanta area over the past few weeks, we are still discovering some unpleasant after-effects of the disaster.
We are having some closings delays as appraisers for some lenders are being asked tp re-evaluate potential damage from floods and excessive rain and also are analyzing the potential risk for future flooding.
And as you can imagine, the appraisers are already burdened with all of the activity already in progress due to the expiration of the $8000 first time homeowner's tax credit. This new issue of re-inspection could add delays across the board.
It's just another chapter in the continuing saga of Coweta County real estate!
Albert Einstein is quoted as saying that "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"
I am a big fan of both college and professional football. I enjoy watching my favorite teams compete each weekend in the fall.
But it irritates me when coaches call the same plays, use the same strategies, and fields the same complement of players week after week in losing efforts. At what point does somebody say: "Hey, what we're doing isn't working so we need to change our game plan?"
I guess that we all could ask the same question regarding our businesses. If we haven't changed our marketing strategy, learned about new kinds of sales, and updated out technology products despite using the same tired old techniques over and over we just might not be thinking correctly:
And if we are truly expecting different results, well, that's just insane!
Coweta County Georgia was rather fortunate during the devastating Atlanta area flooding that occurred over the last few days. We did not experience the record rainfalls that pummeled the metro area with deluge after deluge of precipitation.
However, Coweta County is downstream from Atlanta and the Chattahoochee River serves as the western boundary. The Chattahoochee is the principle watercourse that stretches from north Georgia through Atlanta on to the Gulf of Mexico. The water crested yesterday at record levels setting a new 100-year flood mark for the region.
The short-term effect of the flooding is devastation for property owners in low-lying areas that had their homes inundated with water. It will take a lot of time and effort to rebuild and move forward with their lives.
The long-term effect can be as equally devastating. Many property owners will now find themselves suddenly thrust into the 100-year flood zone that will make their properties difficult, if not impossible to sell. Flood insurance is costly, and most buyers will shy away from the additional expense of insuring properties in designated flood areas.
The most important lesson to take from this is to be informed about the changes. As the new flood maps become available it is important to know which properties are now affected by the flood-zone designation.
The waters are receding and the clean-up will commence. Only time will tell what the long-term effects of this record-breaking flood will be.
It's the official first day of Autumn 2009, and that always get me excited. Fall is my favorite time of year for several reasons.
I love the cooler crisp weather, and the brilliant sunshine dancing on the yellows, reds, oranges and purples of the foliage.
I love the smell of the fallen leaves and the crunching sound when you walk on them. I love the smell of fried apple pies and the sweet and refreshing taste of ice-cold cider.
I love snuggling by a warm fire on a chilly evening and listening to the embers crackling and hissing as they dissipated into ash.
In honor of the arrival of the season, here are some photos from past autumns. I hope that you enjoy them!
