The photo above is of one of two piles in our backyard. We're now in an unincorporated section of Cobb County. Apparently burning is the way to go. (But not until October 1st). I'm a little hesitant to start this bonfire!! I think I'll be finding someone to haul this away, considering the stack is close to six feet tall! If you're all about the outdoors, you should plan to head to Chattahoochee Nature Center next Sunday for Outdoor Skills Day - where you can learn, among other things, how to build a fire. CLICK HERE for the flyer.
The Marietta StreetFest is this weekend and lots of other festivals around the metro (in Sandy Springs, Roswell). And of course the North Georgia State Fair opens today! If you are thinking of heading downtown this weekend, just remember there is a LOT going on - Music Midtown in Piedmont Park, Garth Brooks at Philips Arena, Atlanta Braves are at home. It will be busy downtown!
I'm busy celebrating my birthday and the closing of our Smyrna house...ahh, to own only one home!! Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the rest of this break before reality sets back in on Monday!
WINNER!
Congratulations to the winner of the North Georgia Fair prize pack, Curi A. Enjoy it! (The fair is open Sept. 18 to 28 at Jim Miller Park in Marietta.)
