We had to head out for Atlanta on Wed. for an appt. at Emory University Hosp. Before we left I spotted this Cardinal at the fountain in the front of the house.
He's just enjoying the beautiful day! Yes, he, because the males are always prettier. Only in the animal kingdom though. lol
He looked right at me in the window, as if he were posing for me.
On our way out, Hubby and I went to the subdivision across the main street from us to have a look at the damage the fire caused on Tues. What a horrible site it was. These are condos. Of course, they are connected by twos. In our sub, we are in separate homes.
The condos across the street from the fire were affected by the intense heat. (Notice their siding is buckled.)
There were two homes that were destroyed.
Many others had damage but survived.
The condos behind this unit were melted on the outside, as well. Thankfully no one was injured and the Red Cross immediately stepped in to house these families and provided them with all they needed till they settle with their insurances. I pray they all had policies. Our heart broke for them and goes out to them.
Now were on to Emory. We arrived at our hotel which had gorgeous flowers everywhere. Their trees were turning green and pollen was HEAVY!
After viewing those homes, I felt almost guilty staying in this beautiful hotel.
I have to tell you though, that we always use Priceline and get 3 or 4 star hotels for unbelievable prices. I always bid my own price! If you haven't used them you should give them a try.
