Spring is popping out everywhere and the universe is unfolding as it should.
Sitting here in this pretty little town of Gainesville, Georgia, at the foot-hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, on Lake Lanier, spring is bursting out all over. First the Bradford pear trees in full bloom, an awesome sight, followed by jonquils and flowering shrubbery.
In a few days, all of the azaleas will be in full bloom. Along the main street through town, all these beautiful antebellum mansions line the street. As the trees turn green and the flowers bloom its surreal in its beauty.
