Brrrr!!
This picture is a just a wee bit misleading. It’s not snowing in Atlanta today, although the temperatures are right for it. Forecasters are warning us to wrap our outdoor pipes and to bring in Spot and Fluffy, especially before the thermometer drops into the teens this weekend, and the wind chill makes it feel like we’re in the single-digits.
Since it’s going to be sooo cold, please don’t forget the wild birds that bring color and music to our gardens. Pick up a bag of seed at the store; most birds will eat black oil sunflower seeds, if you can’t find a nice mix. And be sure to keep clean water in your bird bath. Birds need to drink as well as bathe.

When you see the handsome red cardinals in these photos, remember that red is the color of passion, and passion is our theme at this year’s flower show.

Hello, Lynn. My partner Mary and I have enjoyed your group’s annual flower show every year since we moved here six years ago. We were surprised to learn of the relocation to Cobb County and were wondering what caused this decision.

Hi, CajunGypsy, and welcome to the blog. You’re going to like the show’s new location at the Cobb Galleria. First of all, it’s easy to get to, off I-75 and Cobb Parkway US 41, which means no major traffic hassles, and there’s plenty of free parking. The building is also state-of-the-art, with the space and facilities that are necessary to really showcase this jewel-of-a-cultural event!
Hope you and Mary will stop by during the show and say hello. I’ll be blogging live from the Galleria; watch the blog for details on dates and times.
If you haven’t visited the Galleria before, you’re in for a treat!
Lynn
