Boomers, Blooms, and Blazing Hot Days

Okay, so this is officially Great Outdoors Month, as we mentioned here a few weeks ago. What we didn’t know was that Georgia would be enjoying (ahem) record high temperatures in the mid- to high-90s, heat-wave warnings, and heat indexes reaching up to 110 degrees!

So we’re going to shift gears a little so that you can still enjoy Great Outdoors Month, but maybe not melt while you’re at it.

Blooms Are Eye Candy for Active Adults

As we mentioned last week, June 5-11 is National Gardening Week, and Windsong homeowners find it easy to celebrate in their own homes as well as in their communities.

Wide front porches invite flower pots and hanging baskets full of flowers, herbs, even vegetables. And those beautiful arrangements are great for meeting your neighbors. If you love gardening, you’ll understand how easy it is to strike up a conversation about what kind of plants you have, how long you’ve been gardening, how you feed your plants, and more.

Active Adults Celebrate June in the Great Outdoors

In a world where it seems everything has an “official” celebration, Windsong is excited to celebrate the month of June, which is officially “Great Outdoors Month.”

Active Adults & Healthy Hearts

When the best days of your life are ahead of you, the best thing you can do is to make sure you’re healthy enough to enjoy them.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Categories include arrhythmia, heart valve disease, heart failure, and coronary artery disease (CAD).

Whether you grow flowers and herbs (and maybe a tomato plant or two) in pots on the front porch, or in a few rows of well-tended beds in the courtyard, there’s something magical about harvesting food or flowers you’ve grown in your own garden.

Behind the Scenes at Windsong: Partnering With Habitat for Humanity

“We look at these relationships as a partnership that is ongoing and long term, and we are blessed to have Windsong as a part of our Habitat family.” 

Ever since Windsong built its first community nearly 20 years ago, we have forged connections with our neighbors and communities, partnering with local governments, businesses, and charitable organizations. No partnership exemplifies that connection to community more than Windsong’s relationship with Habitat for Humanity of North Central Georgia.

Active Adults SWOON Over Homes Designed for Lifestyle

As always, May is the month when the sun is shining, weather is warmer, and people are ready to emerge from the April showers and enjoy activities with friends, family, and as part of their communities.

First, let’s remember our Moms this weekend (Mother’s Day is May 8), while also appreciating home.

Active Adults Embrace the Music of Springtime!

If you had any doubts about the arrival of Spring in Georgia, just step outside your door: the birds are all singing, some sweet, some raucous, a wonderful cacophony of trills, whistles, and caws.

Humans, too, are erupting in song, as sidewalks and stages and rooftop bars seem to sprout singers, guitar players, even full bands or orchestras, enticing us to shake off the last vestiges of hibernation as we clap, sway, and dance to the beat.
