Since I am behind on posting my 365 pictures this week, I think I am going to stick to just posting them on my 365 blog instead of both places, saving this blog for other posts. It is just getting to be a little too much posting in both. The link is still on the right side of this blog, or if you still need it, it is www.dlnc365.blogspot.com.
Thanks!

Lake Lanier rising fast after heavy rain
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Tuesday, January 06, 2009
Remember Jan. 6, 2009. It could be the date climatologists and meteorologists look back on as the beginning of the end for North Georgia’s historic drought.
Lake Lanier, the drought’s most stubborn laggard, is expected to rise more than 3 feet by week’s end, thanks to Tuesday’s deluge. It had already made a dramatic, 1-foot climb by the afternoon.
John Feldt, hydrologist-in-charge at the National Weather Service’s Southeast River Forecast Center, said conditions had been primed for a big gain at Lanier, the region’s primary water source. The ground was saturated from earlier rain, evaporation is minimal, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which operates the federal reservoir, is holding most of the water in Lanier to help it recover.
“It was just perfect,” Feldt said.
And also, perfectly normal.
When the region gets an average amount of rain in the winter, Lanier generally rises about 7 feet between November and April.
Through March, Feldt is predicting average rain, or more than metro Atlanta has seen during the past two winters.
What is Project 365? For me, it means committing to take at least one picture every day for the next year and post it to my blog. I think this will be an amazing way to document a year in our family. We take hundreds of pictures around here, but to take a picture every single day...from the big events and accomplishments, all the way to the most mundane details...seems like a great way to capture details and moments that ordinarily would slip through the cracks, either unnoticed or later forgotten.
I have set up a second blog for this project, but I haven't decided yet whether it will be easier to just post the photos here or keep the separate blog for my year in photos. To help me decide which I prefer, for this first week or so I will post at both places. You can visit my 365 blog at http://dlnc365.blogspot.com and I have added a button in my sidebar to make it easy to get to the other blog.
Also, while I am going to take a picture every day and I will post all of the pictures I take for this project, I may not post the pictures every single day. I may post them daily or once a week or something in between. The most important thing to me is that I take the pictures and have them where I can view them all together. While I am excited to share the photos, this is ultimately a personal project that I want to do for our family so I do NOT want it to turn into a chore to rush to get them posted every day (just me trying to take the pressure off of myself at the beginning so it stays fun).
Hope you will enjoy sharing a year with us. :)
Haven't had much to post this week as I am still trying to get over a case of bronchitis. Maybe next week will be better.
I found a video of the gas line at the QT about 5 miles down the road from our house. I know I have been telling my family about the craziness that was looking for gas over the last month, but this shows exactly what we were having to deal with. NO ONE would have gas, literally for MILES, and then one station would get gas and everyone would swarm in to get it. It was insane but, knock-on-wood, I think it's over.
