Condominium Market Data for Ellington, CT Last week, in response to my other condominium market data for surrounding towns, I was asked to compile the condominium data for the rural town of Ellington, CT.  Because of the size of Ellington and the limited number of condominium projects within the town, I probably wouldn’t have chosen this as a town that I would compile these numbers. I found it interesting that there are three fairly large site condominium projects.  One of them is currently under construction.  Site condominiums do not need to be approved with FHA in order for FHA financing to be utilized in the project.

Easy Apple Recipes   Over the weekend, I picked twenty pounds of apples at Johnny Appleseed's on Route 83 in Ellington CT.  I love apples and usually eat them plain but every so often I like to change up the flavor a bit.   Would I want to take a perfectly healthy apple and turn it into a high-calorie dessert?  Certainly not! But I do like fabulous low calorie apple treats that are really simple to make.  Here are a few of my favorites:   Apple Slices and Peanut Butter:  Cut the apple into 8 to 12 wedges and dip into peanut butter (preferably all natural). Apple Slices and Cinnamon Sugar:  Instead of the peanut butter, mix up 1/2 a teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of sugar and dip the apples in that. Just in case you don't think these are "recipes" and are really craving apple pie wi... 09/22/2011

Apple Picking at Johnny Appleseed's in Ellington CT   My favorite time of year is here again--apple picking time!  Yesterday I went to Johnny Appleseed's on Route 83 in Ellington CT to pick apples.  They have been offering apple picking since the middle of August and will continue to offer apple picking through the end of October.   Yesterday, the apple varieties available for picking were MacIntosh, Jonamac, Gala, and Spartan.  Of course, you can eat them while you pick so you can make sure you pick the ones you like best.  After trying all the varieties available, I decided that the Spartans were the best for me, and I picked 20 pounds of them!  I found one tree that was loaded with apples and picked all 20 pounds from one tree!  It took probably less than five minutes. Easy!   Some o... 09/05/2011

Well, I went on a listing appointment and as I entered the home, the homeowner took me straight into the kitchen. There it was, a very large bull frog and a smaller one in a large tank on top of the kitchen counter. I asked her if she could move the tank into another room and said she understood my concern but said she could not as the tank is too heavy to move and she cleans it out next to the kitchen sink. Well, my first reaction was to insist as it would be a big turn off for potential buyers to see a large frog on the counter. What came out of my mouth next was brilliant! I suggested to her that if she can't move the tank, lets make it a creative and humorous thing. I suggested that see make a tent sign with the frogs name (Lefty) and make it a funny and positive thing.  Maybe the h... 02/21/2011
