One of the things I love/hate about living in Atlanta is we actually have four seasons.  When I lived in Hawaii the weather forecast each day of the year was a joke.  The temperature rarely fluctuated more than 1 degree… you could guarantee that every single day was going to be sunny with a gentle breeze… if it rained it was always just a nice sprinkly rain… and there was always at least 1 rainbow in the sky each day.  The forecast usually looked like this or better:

So, in Atlanta for once I have gotten to see the seasons change.  When we first moved into our condo one of the first things Mike bought for it was this gnome.  His name’s Jim (that was the name on the box) and he sits under a tree in our little garden.  At first I was mad because I didn’t want one of those yards with all kinds of tacky decorations… but Jim eventually got me to smile at the change of seasons for a minute instead of curse not having sunshine year round.  Today being the first day of summer, my photo series of Jim is now complete!
