Last week while we were on a walk around our lake, this endangered species posting caught my eye and I thought I’d find out what I could. As usual, I may be “the last one to the party” on this topic. I’ve been known to be living under a …
You know it’s August when the fields of sunflowers are in full bloom, illuminating the world as you pass. There are a couple of fields of these beauties in the area and I never tire of them. Every year, I find myself slowing down and taking a deep breath as I pass this golden …
I’m constantly frustrated at the scrappy appearance of our lawn. Dave likes that “cabin grass” look and I want a plush lawn to squish under my piggies. Since I’m not in charge of our exterior life at home, my vote doesn’t count. But alas, we discovered something very cool about our “lawn”. One day after …
How many Realtors can you fit into an Airstream Camper? My happy group was so kind to demonstrate! This little cutie pie was at one of our new listings this week. They use it as guest quarters and I think it’s just the neatest idea. What group of teenagers wouldn’t love to hang out here …
