Working in This Market and Keeping it Positive--Don't Support the Mainstream News Media! - 10/30/07 06:32 PM
 
I don’t know about you, but I don’t listen to the National News on TV in the evening anymore. That has been a long practiced event in my family, since I was a small girl. My father always listened to the National News every night. He also subscribed to Newsweek and we took the daily paper. These were all institutions in my life.

Take a drive out to Oak Run from Redding and you will see beautiful country. As you are leaving Redding you will see old ranches and newer ranchettes all along oak studded acres. Rolling golden hills with those very old oak trees is a California standard and I always enjoy them during anytime of year. There is is this deep connection in California with the Oak Tree. Scrub Oaks, Live Oaks and Black Oaks are easy to spot on your trip to Oak Run. Obviously, some very smart person named the road and small town of Oak Run appropriately.

It is that time of year to prepare for and plant bulbs for spring color in your garden. I guess Tulips are my favorite. Someday, I’ll have the time to build a greenhouse in my backyard, so that I can plant bulbs in containers for bringing into the house. Most bulbs do well in our zone including, Daffodils, Crocus, and Gladiolus. My mother always planted Glads and they are a sentimental favorite for me.

It is also that time to plant Iris. I love the old bearded Iris. There are new and wonderful color versions. You will be amazed … (3 comments)

If You Like Fly Fishing, You are Going to Love Redding California! - 10/27/07 09:13 AM

My husband and I are Fly Fishing enthusiasts. We love being on the river and the connection it brings to the river and to the environment.
There is nothing better than hunting that “brookie” or “brown”. My husband David, fly fisherman extraordinaire (he is poetry in motion when it comes to fly fishing) and professional photographer is the true fly fisherman.
He can fly fish anywhere in any condition. I, on the other hand have to have just the right spot and just the right equipment and so on and on. I fiddle at fly fishing. However, both styles of … (0 comments)

It is that wonderful time again when children get excited about “Trick or Treating” and parents organize to keep their children safe and allow for a fun evening. I love all the holidays and I think the best thing about being a Realtor is having fun with my clients and their families during each and every holiday. We like to put out that carved pumpkin for the neighborhood kids. My son puts out a scary pumpkin and I put out a rather “Martha Stewart” pumpkin. I bought her pumpkin carving tools and highly recommend the product.  I use to make goodies, … (0 comments)

Hayfork, CA....reminiscent of Northern Exposure....Freedom and Space! - 10/19/07 03:58 PM
Hayfork, California located in Trinity County California is a quiet and beautiful remote place. When driving the some 30 miles from Highway 299 on Highway 3 to Hayfork, one begins to feel as if they are entering the TV show "Northern Exposure". You are sure that you will see a moose at any moment and that the people will be open, funny and eccentric. The town closes down on the weekends and there is virtually no cell service at least on my network.  You feel the instant and constant need to slow......down! Way Down! It is quite nice.
