Seasons
- Winter day temperatures
range from balmy "dog days of
summer" to "blue-tailed
Northerns" and few days an
enthusiast cannot indulge in a round
of golf. For the hunter, quail, dove,
and wild turkey are plentiful.

- In spring, moderate
temperatures and blooming color are
the perfect remedy for the winter
doldrums as redbuds, apple and pear
trees, azaleas, and wildflowers
blanket the countryside.

campers and fishermen to area lakes.
Jet and water skiing, boating,
swimming, picnicking, and family
cookouts are popular activities.

high school football games, craft
fairs, bicycling and nature's
brilliance ranging from crimson to
gold. The countryside is full of
brightly-colored pumpkins, apples and
gourds.
