Wordless Wednesday-Snow High Above the Hudson River - 12/29/10 10:26 PM

Snow high above the Hudson River was what I saw today.  It started with a request to show one of my Rhinebeck listings.  I was about to give the okay to show when I suddenly remembered the Blizzard from earlier in the week, so I decided to go check on the property.
I had a lunch date with my daughter so I had to make sure this was okay with her especially since she was doing the driving.  We got to the property and I was delighted to see the driveway was plowed. Then I saw this scene which I found … (23 comments)

Speechless Sunday- Cottage in the Woods - 12/26/10 09:42 PM

A winter are two ago my husband and I were travelingl down this country road in Rhinebeck NY.  The freshly fallen snow looked so beautiful and then we happened upon this cottage; and of course I had to pull over to take some shots, I took several so did my husband.   The cottage looked like something straight out of a story book.  For some reason when I look at it, all I can think of of is little Red Riding Hood on her way to grandma's house.
Now that I have it framed like this I can see what a great postcard … (24 comments)

Speechless Sunday-I found the missing Canadian Geese - 12/19/10 08:33 PM

These Geese  were originally on the bank but went in the water as I approached

I was having breakfast in the diner next door when I noticed all these geese flying in.  From that point on all I did was watch these birds.  This looks like some sort of convention or better yet I found the missing Canadian Geese.

Wordless Wednesday-The Winter Cactus a bit of color on dreary days - 12/15/10 11:04 PM

                    Wordless Wednesday-The Winter Cactus a bit of color on dreary days



I love colors, and since winter can be so dreary at times I really appreciate the winter cactus which seems to bloom all winter.  The nice thing about this plant is that it comes in a variety of colors, yes this plant can bring a smile to my face on those days when the weather outside is frightful.

Dutchess County NY Real Estate Update November 2010 - 12/15/10 01:30 PM
Dutchess County NY Real Estate Update November 2010
The number of Dutchess County homes sold in  November were 38 less than the same time last year, going from 153 to 115.  On the other hand, the homes sold were more expensive as both average and median price rose.  The inventory level was also up over the same time last year although down from last month.  Looking at the absorption rate it looks like it would take almost 19 months to get rid of the existing inventory.
 With such a volume of inventory this is a good time for those in a position to … (4 comments)

Speechless Sunday-There is something priceless at Walmart - 12/12/10 02:17 PM

I'll bet this headline grabbed your attention. What could be so priceless at Walmart? How about the view?  I took this shot a couple of years ago from the Walmart parking lot in Kingston, NY.
This a a photo I personally like. It reminded me so much of a lovely landscape watercolor.  I could see Thomas Cole of the Hudson River School of painting sitting down and painting a watercolor of the snow-clad Catskill Mountains.
So, next time you are at Walmart you might just see something priceless.

In Rhinebeck there is a wide variety of properties for sale and this is a good time to buy.  Mortgage rates are still relatively low … (8 comments)

Speechless Sunday-Don't look directly at the sun!!! - 12/05/10 11:54 PM

I am sure as a kid you were told not to look directly at the sun and with good reason, it could damage your eyes.  This advice is also true for adults.
On the day I took this shot I saw the shining sun and was also captivated by the clouds, this scene was right over one of my favorite spot the Hudson River.
Okay I listened to the advice, I took an aim put look the other way.

Wordless Wednesday-Something Cheery after a wet cold windy day in Red Hook NY - 12/01/10 10:38 PM
Wordless Wednesday-Something Cheery after a wet cold windy day in Red Hook NY
I don't know about you but any day the sun fails to show it's face is  truly a down day. Add cold wet and windy and I feel like I should go back to bed.
Today was that type of a day but I had no time to let the day get me down as I had an appointment with a potential seller at 8:00 AM. So, off I went.
It was wonderful getting back to the comfort of my office from which I could watch the trees sway … (13 comments)
