Oh, Georgia

HannahElisabeth


Notice of absence from HannahElisabeth
Taking a long overdue mental health vacation. I will check in when I can.

Awaiting,

Not so patiently

For fall to come,

She teases me

With days of cool and gentle breeze

Then stifling humidity

Hinting soon of changing leaves,

The masterpiece

That Autumn brings

Oh, Georgia

Never can decide

If she should rain, or should she shine

More oft than not, tis both at once 

Oh, Georgia

Do make up your mind

    It always seems that Georgia's on your mind haha. Bring in autumn I quite agree

      My friend wrote me an adorable poem for my birthday and made clever use of the lyrics to that song, I suppose it was on my mind when I wrote this haha

      I thought it was the Brits who had the wonky weather, but I bet they don't have it as unpredictable as Sydney.... Where is this Georgia joint anyway.............?
      Enjoyed the write, going to change the names.......

        Seems you all are not alone in that boat, this year has been especially strange here, season-wise.

        Since so many people from the suburbs here love to say they're from Atlanta just because it sounds "cool", I'm just gonna say that I live close enough. I'm glad you enjoyed my sillier side.

        P.S. I hope you don't mind, I referred to you as a friend upon posting what "Wishes" should have been on another site 😊

          I'm heartbroken - wot am I if not a friend, Hannah... Hannah... Hannah... You will have to subscribe to the Sydney Morning Herald in order to read my obituary......

          Never been but so many films have brough us Georgia both sweltering and wet. You took me to scraps of film stock in my mind to create my minds eye version and it was sultry, damp air with cool cool people.

            Oh that definitely is true, the scenery is beautiful in the spring and fall. I love the summers here too, as long as there is a lake or pool near by!

            I'm currently reading, a walk in the woods by bill bryson
            (try it out and gift yourself a laugh)...
            'and Georgia
            ain't got nothing on our dear Blighty's tempestuous weather, nothing I say!' lol

            • HannahElisabeth

              I looked it up, that certainly sounds like a great read prior to trying to hike the Appalachian Trail! Having lived in GA most of my life, all I can say is summer and winter and visits to the city do not go well together lol

              I see you have posted an absence notice, but I had to comment anyways. I love this one. I live in Georgia (since April 2000) and I have given up on trying to figure out the crazy Georgia weather. Someone gave me a list of “Georgia’s 12 Seasons” which I will share below 😂
              1. Winter
              2. Fool’s spring
              3. Second winter
              4. Spring of deception
              5. Third winter
              6. The pollening
              7. Spring
              8. Summer
              9. Hell’s front porch
              10. False fall
              11. Second summer
              12. Fall

              I think that’s fairly accurate 👍

              • HannahElisabeth

                This had me absolutely dying, I've never seen something more hilariously accurate! I've been living back in Georgia since 2008; you know it's time to stock up on allergy medication when we hit Third Winter in preparation for the pollening 😂😂😂

                Thank you for sharing and happy second summer; I'm STILL waiting for actual fall haha
