Time: 10:00 am

Location:  Coal Creek

Temperature: 42 degrees

Weather: Cool but sunny, without wind

Following our April meeting, we ventured down to Coal Creek. It was immediately apparent that the creek had overflowed its banks during the recent flooding. Grass laid down several feet around the top of the creek walls. But today, the day is bright and glorious. Our spring in Fulton County is late this year, but the green has come, and with it, bits and pieces of promise. The first year we hiked Coal Creek, it was in full bloom. The second time, the spring was earlier and we were a little late for the show. This year, a bit early. The lesson? Applaud whatever appears at the moment you're looking.
