The weather is perfect for your outdoor projects.  Time to think about starting a vegetable garden or to start planting some of the hardier annuals.  I don't know about yours, but, my shrubs are full of new growth already.  They need to be trimmed back.  Keeping them clear of your house is wise.  They tend to grow into the siding or block sunlight from the windows if they get too overgrown.  You will need to get new mulch for the beds and walkways.  If you like to do this yard work, now is the time.  If you choose to hire someone, call today.  Birch Mountain Earthworks now offers delivery or you may pick it up at their location on Rt 5 in South Windsor.

In Connecticut, we have been blessed with another beautiful morning!  Sky is clear and blue.  I know it won't last, rain is on its way.  I will try to get out and deliver some of my popbys early in the day.  It's the perfect scenario.  Just popping by to say hello and then, to leave my small gift of appreciation for you. If you are not at home, I will leave your small popby gift, with a note from me and I will call you later.  This will work out well for my stats with my Coach, Dave McGhee.  Pretty funny, because when I do this exercise, of popping by, I usually end up talking with my clients neighbors.  Often, they are out in the yard talking to their neighbors when I drive up.  Last week, two more families joined my Perk Club, and will now receive my CAP item monthly.  It still amazes... 05/18/2008

I have seen this now, twice in the last few weeks.  Honestly, it has never come up before, in my 22 years as a Realtor.  The bank that my client went to for his loan just before Christmas, had not called him or me about his pre-approval.  I thought this was odd, so, I called.  The mortgage officer was away, so, I would assume someone would call on her behalf, to give us an update on the file.  I called and called.  Left many messages.  Finally, I call and get directed to the processor.  She said she was unable to give me any information because I was not listed as an allowable contact on the file.  Hmm!  This was news to me, I gave them the client.  Next client, same thing, but, much easier.  Client asked me to call the processor for him so that they would have an idea of taxes that mig... 01/09/2008
