lake anna: Something Was Calling Me Down to the Dock - 05/11/12 06:27 PM
Something was calling me down to the dock.  I'm going to share a photo and perhaps you'll be able to quess what.

Come on Down!
It really didn't take much coaxing.  Today was another gorgeous day here at Lake Anna and what better way to enjoy it than simply relaxing down on the dock.  With a little encouragement from my granddaughter, Sean, I was more than ready to take it easy and enjoy the sunshine and beautiful breeze this afternoon.
Selling real estate at Lake Anna means that I share with others how wonderful life is here.  I sometimes have … (10 comments)

lake anna: EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL AT LAKE ANNA - 05/04/12 02:35 PM
Everything is beautiful at Lake Anna...even the spiderwebs.  Yes, we're out in the country and we love it but it does come with certain amenities that might take some getting use to.  One might be spiders that find all this fresh air and peaceful living give them plenty of time to create their masterpieces.
Now you can fight this and probably win or you can choose to take some pleasure in their creation.  We do a bit of both.  However, when I come across one like this I say live and let live.

lake anna: Lucky Me...Living at Lake Anna Next to a Beautiful Garden - 05/02/12 06:23 PM
Often when I give directions to our home I make reference to my neighbors garden next door.  They also live on the water and have chosen to garden up towards the road where the area is more open with less trees.  It apparently is the perfect spot for this purpose.  Ever since our neighbors moved down to Lake Anna to live here full time they have produced the most amazing display of flowers.  
For a good part of the year I can tell folks that we are the driveway right after the property with the wonderful garden.  It doesn't surprise … (3 comments)

Lake Anna is enjoying spring...how about you?  Not only is the lake sparkling so are the folks I see having a good time fishing and boating.  A bit early for swimming but before we kow it the waters will beckon and in we'll go.
Spring arrived about three weeks earlier this year.  We can tell by the blossoming of the azaleas and all of the other flowing shrubs and trees a well as the srpng flowers that have popped up all over the place for weeks now.
Although Lake Anna has its appeal all year round there are some seasons that … (3 comments)

lake anna: WINTER HASN'T HIT US YET AND ALREADY I'M THINKING OF SPRING & SUMMER AT LAKE ANNA - 01/07/12 10:32 PM
Winter hasn't hit us yet and already I'm thinking of spring and summer at Lake Anna.  We have only had a couple of wintry days when the weather has been down in the 40's.  Other than that we have had unseasonably warm days, many of them sunny ones.  We really have nothing to complain about...unless you like to freeze, and yet I find myself thinking spring is right around the corner.

It seems like it will only be days from now when I'll be passing by the vineyards where Lake Anna Winery grows the grapes for the award winning wine … (7 comments)

lake anna: WINTER BUYERS ARE ALMOST ALWAYS SERIOUS BUYERS AT LAKE ANNA - 01/04/12 10:24 PM
Winter "buyers" are almost always SERIOUS BUYERS.  Most buyers that are out looking at properties at Lakek Anna during the winter months and especially during the holidays are usually goal oriented.  They are looking at the calendar and realize that if they begin looking now they will have a very good chance of finding something well before the recreational season begins.  By recreational I'm talking specifically about the water oriented activities. Many of the other activities can be done year round or almost year round. 
There are many times buyers' thoughts turn to warm weather and having fun even in the midst of winter.

lake anna: YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN A POST ON ACTIVE RAIN WILL RESULT IN A COMMISSION...BUT IT NEVER WILL IF YOU DON'T BLOG! - 01/03/12 10:39 PM
You never know when your post on Active Rain will result in a commission...but it NEVER WILL if you don't blog!  It's as easy as that.  I was reading a "Success Story" post by Ava Anderson who had stopped blogging on Active Rain when out of the blue she was contacted by a purchaser because of her Active Rain blog.  When that contact turned into a commission check Ava became a believer. 
There are probably many others that wavered in their confidence that blogging was going to benefit their business.  However, if they stick with it long enough, and write the … (49 comments)

lake anna: 2011 December Blogging Challenge - Week Four 6th Entry...A Wonderful Friend Dies - 12/26/11 10:29 PM
Although this is my entry for Friday, December 23, 2011, I am writing it on Tuesday, December 27th.  Four days ago a wonderful friend of mine was killed as a result of a one car accident close to her home at Lake Anna. Gail Martin was someone I met about 15 years ago and liked immediately.  Gail has been the most active person I have probably every known.  She has lent her time and energy to so many organizations and individuals that it is almost impossible to keep track of them all.
As much of a shock as Gail's death was, … (14 comments)
