Let’s just say that if the fun hasn’t begun already, it will start now. For the next thirty to sixty days, or whatever time frame you put between contract signing and closing, the gears will be in motion, getting everything ready for the big day when you take possession of your new home. There will be appraisals and surveys to order, title searches and inspections to conduct and lenders to meet with.

As we get ready to celebrate the holidays with family and friends, we want to wish you an amazing holiday season!!!
We are looking forward to the new year!

Happy Holidays!!!!!!!

Pull all weeds and unwanted sod, including the roots, and dispose of them. Use a spading fork to turn over and aerate the soil. When the soil is moist-not too wet and not too dry-spread 2 to 4 inches of compost or well-rotted manure on first-time beds, and an inch on older beds.

It also gets into homes through cracks and other holes in the foundation, or through well water.

House Paints: houses built before 1939 had lead-based paint applied to the interior or exterior surfaces, and some home paints produced up to 1977 contained small amounts of lead. Some of these paints still remain inside older homes and may particularly hazardous if in poor condition (chipped or peeling) or if disturbed by sanding or abrasion (creating lead dust).

Bulbs, tubers, and corms can provide color in your garden almost all year round. Snowdrops, aconites, and tiny irises appear in late winter, followed in early spring by cheerful daffodils and narcissi, hyacinths and tulips in almost every color. In late spring, fritilliaries, bluebells, lilies-of-the-vallry, irises and alliums come. Summer brings lilies, and gladiolus. In fall, come dahlias and nerines.
