Fall in Palmetto Bay Fall has arrived in Palmetto Bay, Florida. I know this sounds ridiculous to anyone living above Jacksonville, Florida, but here in South Florida, the humidity has fallen below 50% and it feels downright cool here. There is dew on the grass in the morning, and it is cooler sipping coffee on my patio than in my now stuffy feeling kitchen. My husband and I finished preparing our organic vegetable garden beds this weekend, and so I really know that winter is on the way. For those of you from up North, we garden in the WINTER! Yes, while you are freezing and your gardens are frozen or under snow, our season is going into high gear, and our Farmer's Markets open, our fresh local produce starts to grow and all us Miamians, remember why we moved here. For the  weather! As y... 10/11/2010

Status of the Short Sale Activity in Miami, Florida THE STATUS OF THE SHORT SALE ACTIVITY IN MIAMI FLORIDA IS ONE THAT KEEPS heating up just like our lovely summer weather.  From what I am seeing and hearing out here in the trenches the number of short sales coming into the market for sale are slowing down somewhat.  The activity and number of short sales are being replaced by normal "organic" sales but a lot of those properties will eventually end up becoming short sales as well. I took a sampling in one of our choice neighborhoods called Palmetto Bay and found the following. Out of 56 properties for sale in the price range of $300,000 to $500,000 only 15 were short sales and 2 were foreclosures.  So this snapshot tells us that at least in the Palmetto Bay area the market appears to be... 08/17/2010

Organic Garden in Palmetto Bay, Florida   Last night I watched the movie, Food, Inc.  It was a disturbing movie to watch but extremely enlightening,  important and necessary. Think about it...  How much do we know about the food we buy at our local supermarket (if it's not a Whole Foods) and that we feed to our families everyday?  Read further below for a synopsis of the movie. I have been thinking about what we eat for quite awhile now. I try to buy local foods, shop at farmer's market and buy foods in season. I only shop at Whole Foods, which has a committment to provide healthy, organic (not all the food is organic) and sustainable food to its customers. I live in Palmetto Bay, Florida where the lots are pretty average at 15,000 square feet. This year I planted an organic vegetable g... 12/31/2009
