Welcome to your Mountain Home!
As I write this welcome, the weather in Gilmer County has not yet decided to make the transition to Spring. We are vacillating between warm temperatures and forecasts of flurries.
Like the song from the early 90s, it is four seasons in one day sometimes.
What we are sure of is the renewal which comes with Spring will arrive. It will be time once again to open our windows, feel the breezes making their way through our homes and begin the annual renewal projects around our homes which includes cleaning and other projects.
All this leads us to our new edition of Mountain Home, our magazine designed to help you with your projects or just inspire you this Spring season.
A feature story this year is about a young woman in Gilmer County who is being a steward of the land. Clare Moore is practicing homesteading and working with the land to produce her food and beauty projects on Fiddlehead Farm.
As always, Whitney Sherrill captures the warmth and personality of her subject. I encourage you to take time to read her story.
We have added a story about procuring your permits for additions and alterations to your home. We hope these help you as you move forward with your plans.
Are you looking for plants? The Garden Club of Ellijay is gearing up for its sale to give you a start.
There are also do-it-yourself projects for lotion, making paper and crafting with dried flowers.
And, there is so much more.
Please see the list of our sponsors and their ads. We encourage you to join us in thanking them for their support and help in providing these ideas to you.
Thank you for reading and thank you for being part of the Times-Courier and Gilmer County family.
