falconhead west: Video - New Construction Home Built from the Ground Up - Falconhead West Austin TX - 02/22/12 03:13 PM
For a couple of years, the view outside my office window was a vacant lot across the street. The builders had not put a house there yet.  I thought it would be fun to capture the entire building process on video, so I waited and waited for them to start "moving dirt", as they say.  One day, I finally saw the dumpster appear. That means they're ready... Each day that there was some type of progress on the house, I went out and shot a very short video from approximately the same spot each time. I then stitched all the videos … (10 comments)

falconhead west: Falconhead West - Bee Cave Austin TX - Builder Sales - 10/25/11 03:42 PM
Falconhead West in Bee Cave TX, just West of Austin, is a growing community with so much building activity going on.  There are three builders within Falconhead West and three distinct sections, which means different pricing depending on where you want to be within the community. The three distinct sections are the 60' lots, the 70' lots, and the 80' lots. Many people think that just because the lot size gets bigger, that your neighbor is further away... but this is far from the truth.  What really happens? They put a larger home on the larger piece of property. In the … (1 comments)

falconhead west: Falconhead West - Bee Cave Austin TX - Fall Festival 2011 - 10/17/11 11:06 AM
Falconhead West in Bee Cave TX had our annual Fall Festival yesterday sponsored by the Falconhead West HOA. Alyssa and Landon both had a blast. This year, there were two bounce houses instead of just one, so there was plenty of jumping room for everyone.

There was also a Rock Climbing wall and Alyssa dared to try it this year. She loved it!


Landon spent his time playing on the playscape climbing up his own version of a rock wall, and then going head first down the slide, as is his trademark sliding routine.

P. Terry's even … (4 comments)

falconhead west: Falconhead West - Bee Cave Austin TX - FerrellGas and KVUE News - 07/12/11 11:01 AM
Falconhead West - Bee Cave Austin TX was on KVUE News yesterday.  Last winter, we experienced very low temperatures and the propane tanks supplied by FerrellGas froze up and we were without heat for several days. I had an infant, only a few weeks old, and our house was 53 degrees. It wasn't until day 2 where Ferrell Gas offered to put up homeowners at a local hotel, but I wasn't going to pack up a 3 year old as well as an infant to live in a hotel. Way too much stuff to worry about, so we toughed it out … (5 comments)

falconhead west: Falconhead West - Bee Cave - Austin TX - Community Park and Playground - 02/20/10 03:23 PM
Falconhead West Bee Cave Austin TX is finally getting their community park and playground.  Back in November, I mentioned Falconhead West's playground was finally fully approved, but it sat as dirt for a long time.  It's more than three months later, and it looks like some fairly decent progress is being made.


Alyssa thinks the playground is being built just for her as she calls it "my playground". This will be about a quarter mile from my house, so very convenient, and we'll be there all the time... if they ever finish it! Falconhead West Bee Cave Austin TX … (5 comments)

falconhead west: Hyper-Local Blogging is Loved by Google Juice - 10/28/09 04:17 PM
For the past few weeks, I've been learning a lot about SEO and how to get my blogs and websites ranked higher up in the search engines, without paying ungodly amounts of money to all those spamming companies.  I've spoken to a few of my regular blog visitors and they've all noticed a change in the formats and how the blog posts are written. Is that good or bad?  It's good on my part, but I can see how it's a little more robotic on their part. However, I'm not blogging just for conversation with other members of ActiveRain.  I'm blogging … (82 comments)

Falconhead PGA Golf Course - Bee Cave TX - is a very nice golf course.  My husband plays it all the time. Every single day, I have to drive past the driving range and some of the course, and the greens always look to be actually green and not brown.

Personally, I don't condone how much golf my husband plays, but I figured there had to be a way to cut down on the cost of his habit... a membership!!Falconhead Golf Club manages the Falconhead PGA Golf Course and has several different memberships to chose from.  For my husband, I … (4 comments)

falconhead west: Falconhead West Bee Cave TX - TailGate Party was a Success - 09/20/09 12:50 PM
Falconhead West Bee Cave TX's TailGate party was a huge success!  Each time I drove by, there were tons of cars. Alyssa and I stopped by at one point so she could bounce in the bounce house, however, we never made it that far.  Instead, I went into the Falconhead West Bee Cave TX's builder's model to ask the sales rep some questions about my new, soon-to-be neighbors as I noticed a "sold" sign in the yard next door the day before. While waiting for him to become free, I gave Alyssa her first "real" Popsicle, which she loved and made … (4 comments)

Can you help me and Bambi and the rest of my family find a home?

There are lots of deer running through my neighborhood of Falconhead West in Bee Cave, TX, but it was even more amazing to find this tree that looks so much like a deer, right down the street from my house.

falconhead west: Spanish Oak Trees Having an Identity Crisis! - 07/27/09 11:27 AM
I have a couple of Spanish Oak trees in my backyard, and I also back up to a Natural Greenbelt area with thousands of Spanish Oaks.
Here is a picture of the leaves on the Spanish Oak tree:

Well, it looks like my trees are having an identity crisis.  Look at the leaves that are currently growing in clusters all over the trees...

What is this, and why is it happening?  They are two very distinctive kinds of leaves. These trees have to be OLD as this was untouched land prior to my community of Falconhead West being built … (9 comments)

Do you have an office with a window? If so, what's your view?
And do you find yourself wasting time looking at your view? Or do you not pay much attention to it?
Here is my view right outside my office window left to right...



 
It's a vacant lot with a bunch of dead trees next to a house being built.  I thought it would be really annoying trying to work with all the building going on around me, but I've actually found it to not bother me at all.  They work "quietly" and I hardly know … (9 comments)
