Fall Colors at Lake Oconee

by

Fall at Lake Oconee this year has been slow to arrive! Just a week ago the temperature was

Colors of Fall at PIke’s Nursery

still in the 80s! Therefore, leaves are just beginning to turn to their oranges, reds,  and yellows (yes, we have all four seasons here!). I am really ready to wear a sweater, make a fire in the fireplace, and cook some stew. Fortunately,  the cool temperature is now here!

This October Lake Oconee residents have been extra busy with Fall Fundraisers. Golf courses have hosted Pink Ribbon Tournaments for breast cancer,  church fundraisers for charity, and some college playoffs. Outdoor concerts were held by Harmony Crossing featuring Banks and Shane, Octoberfest at the Oconee Brewery (Episcopal Church)

Lake Oconee LIfestyle

Sensational Sounds of Motown

featuring Good Vibrations band, and at Harbor Club (for the Greene County Boys and Girls Club) featuring the Sensational Sounds of Motown. Whew, we’re tired of dancing!

The Catholic Knights of Columbus men sold Tootsie Rolls candy at the intersection on Highway 44! Lake Oconee charities surely got a monetary shot in the arm this season.

Fall brings in Football season, an eagerly anticipated time is finally here. Many Lake Oconee fans drove to Atlanta to attend the Falcons’ first game in the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Many University of Georgia fans and Georgia Tech fans pass through the Lake area on their way to tailgating before games. The fans’ car window flags are whipping in the breeze as people travel to their favorite college football game.

Young children and grown children are creating new costumes as Halloween approaches.

Halloween at Lake Oconee

Children are Excited to Trick or Treat

Some churches host Trunk or Treat or parties for the very young goblins, and many adults head for costume parties, also.

This Fall at Harbor Club, a Southern Living Home is open for view on weekends in October and November. It is described as a Modern Farmhouse and is open on weekends during

Lifestyle Lake Oconee

Tour the Southern Living Model in Harbor Club

October and November. People who see it are abuzz about some of the brightly colored modern accessories and the bathtub in the shower! Come see it for yourself.

Another popular Fall activity is deer hunting. When we moved here from Atlanta, we were surprised to see  vehicles move through

Lake Oconee Deer Hunting

Fall is Deer Hunting Season

town with a deer carcass strapped to the roof! Men dressed in camouflage were seen at stores buying coffee and canned beans for sustenance.

 

Next in line is Thanksgiving! We just hope the Publix expansion will be finished before the

Lifestyle at Lake Oconee

Fried Turkey, Southern Favorite

turkey buying frenzy begins. Many families gather for Thanksgiving at their family’s Lake Oconee home. Pumpkins, chrysanthemums, and corn sheaves decorate front porches. At our house, Thanksgiving is celebrated with a Southern favorite, fried turkey! Jim fries two (one is mustard coated) and has been the Hudson family favorite for the past 15 years.

 

The season for buying and selling homes has also been fast-paced this Fall! Come visit and find your four-season home at Lake Oconee. It is a great place to live all year.

Beautiful Lakeside Home

View of Home from Lake Oconee

This residence will be sold with all the furnishes that so perfectly fit the setting. The 4500 square foot home was designed with copious windows to offer beautiful views of Lake Oconee from every room.

Special features of the home include upscale appliances in the kitchen,

The great room is the heart of the home and shows glimpses of Lake Oconee as one enters the home.

Lake Oconee Things to Do

Fireworks Over Lake Oconee

Lake Oconee Shopping-Greensboro

by

Lake Oconee Shopping

Enjoy Shopping in Greensboro

Lake Oconee offers many sporting opportunities: golfing, fishing, swimming, biking, but we must not leave out that favorite sport of shopping! Although there are no malls or outlets in our towns, the Lake Oconee area has many smaller stores that offer more personalized shopping places, ones that often typify the local Southern and lake cultures. One location that offers lunch and shopping to visitors is Downtown Greensboro. North of I-20, Greensboro is a favorite destination for groups who carpool or bus in for the day from the surrounding area, as well as visitors to Lake Oconee. Many shops are within the 4 block area of the downtown making this a walk-able place to shop .

There are a number of stores operating in Downtown Greensboro, but I will describe only a few highlights in this space. 

 

A favorite lunch destination is the Yesterday Cafe on Main Street. The Yesterday Cafe is a typical Southern “meat and three” restaurant complete with a bar. The walls inside are hung with old photos of past Greensboro people and places. The buttermilk pie is to die for!

Lake Oconee Shopping

Famous Buttermilk Pie

Even before you leave Yesterday Cafe, one can go through a connecting door to enter a charming gift shop, Traditions Old & New. This shop has it all. It is a great place to buy baby gifts, decorative items, jewelry, and candles. I often find the perfect house-warming gift for clients in this shop.

Lake Oconee Shopping

Traditions Old and New

 

Shopping downtown Greensboro should always include a trip to the “Big Store” originally built in 1858. It served as a department store, as well as a blacksmith shop, with a funeral home in the back.  A friend of mine started the Greensboro Antique Mall in the 90s, creating a market place where antique vendors could showcase their wares in separate booths. (Look on the plaster remains on the brick wall for the stenciling I did for the new shop on the right side ceiling, halfway down!)

Lake Oconee Shopping

Antiques, Collectibles, Decorative Items

The building invites your entry by a display of plants and antique iron work on the sidewalk outside. Today the Mall is home to over 50 dealers selling quality antiques, collectibles, and decor. I go there periodically to buy an item, learn more about the local culture, or simply to amuse myself by browsing the booths.

 

Another must see shop is Genuine Georgia, directly across the street from the Antique Mall. Genuine Georgia is also housed in a historic building that last served as a restaurant  where the locals gathered. It is an example of the Victorian “painted lady” style exterior.

Shopping Lake Oconee

Weaving Demonstration at Genuine Georgia

Only the work of artisans in the state of Georgia are sold there. Among the items sold are jewelry, pottery, woven goods, paintings, as well as foods such as jams, grits and sauces. Artisans are often in the store giving demonstrations of their skills. This store is a good place to pick up a souvenir from Georgia, a hostess gift, or decorative item for your own home.

 

The Lake Oconee area lifestyle will give you the opportunity for a  taste of the Old Southern history when you visit the stores and walk the sidewalks of Historic Greensboro. You will always go home (as I do!) with a package or two from these local shops.

Lake Oconee Hosts Golf Channel Tournament

by

Golfer with Caddie

Golfer with Caddie

This week the Lake Oconee area was abuzz with Golf Channel cameras and golfers as the Golf Channel held its inaugural Big Break Invitational  Golf Tournament at Reynolds Great Water Course. On Tuesday we walked the back nine to view the action, and observe our son Jay in his role as golf caddie. The Great Waters back nine holes border beautiful Lake Oconee, and many homeowners were lucky enough to watch the golf from their porches or yards. Search the Great Waters Community for wonderful homes for sale on the water, on the golf course, and interior at many levels of pricing. Many boaters had a front row seat! As the Golf Channel televised three hours per day of the tournament, Lake Oconee received a great deal of attention from watching homebuyers! Yes, Snoopy, the beloved blimp was seen hovering in the blue sky above, watching some amazing golf.

40 aspiring men and women professional golfers gathered to vie for the $100,000 purse by competing on the beautiful course on the lake. In this unusual coed competition, the first 2 days were between same-gender participants in a modified Stableford scoring format designed to reduce the field to 12 men and 12 women. In day 3, the twenty-four remaining golfers competed in match play to reduce the field further to six men, and six women.

Spectatiors View Lakeside Golf

Spectators View Lakeside Golf

The Final BBI Action for October 3.
Six women and six men will tee it up Friday at the Big Break Invitational Reynolds Plantation, each individual sharing the same goal – to win the first-place $100K prize. If past “Big Break” results are an indicator of future success, then the Friday favorite is gender neutral.

Of 21 “Big Break” seasons past, six have been co-ed that awarded a single winner. Which gender won more? You guessed it – three were won by women and three were won by men, which indicates the inaugural Big Break Invitational is anybody’s – and either gender’s – for the taking.

The Great Waters Course doesn’t know or care whether the person standing on the first tee Friday is a woman or a man. Twelve terrific competitors remain and for each of them, the battles they fight in the final round will be with themselves and with the course. What it won’t be is a battle of the sexes … or will it?
