- 02/12/08 08:08 AM
I wasn't sure I'd have a dance partner for Valentine's Day this year but it looks like I do. She's going to be the same date as I had last year - My Toro Snow Blower! Remember the stupendous Valentine's Day Blizzard of ‘07? Well, Mother Nature is cooking up the same sorta thing for this year. Perhaps not the ferocity and work that last year's date brung. But she'll be feisty nonetheless. Wind, 8-10 inches of snow expected and all the rest. She's always dressed up though in her red and black and she's noisy as all hell. I have to wear ear protection … (1 comments)
burlington vermont real estate: Hey Burlington Vermont. What the Fed Cut Means To Your Mortgage?
- 01/29/08 02:19 AM
An article by CNBC described it this way. "On days like this, I think it's important to go back to the ol' mortgage primer and figure out exactly what all this news means to you, to your mortgage, to your home equity line and to your home's financial future. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the 30 year fixed is not tied to short-term treasuries. Fixed mortgage rates are tied to long-term bond yields that move based on the outlook for the economy and inflation. And guess what? The long-term outlook for the economy isn't exactly rosy right now. This week's rate … (0 comments)
burlington vermont real estate: Full Moon Over Burlington Vermont
- 01/21/08 11:43 PM
We have a glorious full moon upcoming on Tuesday, January 22nd. I celebrate such events. It's quite possible my love of full moons began while as a young child being read Goodnight Moon by my mother over and over night after night. That reassuring story and the gentle melody of my mum's voice comforted me to sleep as I found my sweet spot amidst the tangle of my sheets and cozy Hudson's Bay blankets. Years later, I, as have many of us, read this same classic story to my/our children. In a newer book, On The Day You Were Born, it's author Debra Frasier pays loving homage to the moon … (1 comments)

burlington vermont real estate: New Urbanism in Vermont? A Few Connections
- 11/27/07 10:46 PM
In the winter of 2006, a conference was convened by Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour. The intense brainstorming session was an effort, eager to seize the opportunity left in Katrina's terrible wake, a fleeting chance to correct past development wrongs. The design conference was organized by the Congress for New Urbanism, which champions returning towns and cities to denser, more pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods, a counterweight to car-dominated sprawl and empty downtowns filled with trophy buildings. Over the past 20 years, the movement has steadily proven itself with a growing list of buildings and community projects around the country. In Mississippi, the new urbanists had their first shot … (2 comments)
burlington vermont real estate: Christmas and Real Estate in Burlington Vermont
- 11/27/07 10:43 PM
The Christmas lights are all lit up and down Church Street now. The Christmas tree at the north end in front of the Unitarian Church is up too. This is one of my favorite times of the year. Dinner at Leunig's or Trattoria Delia (my faves!) with snow falling. An after dinner stroll to the top of Church Street stopping at store windows along the way up and on the return too. A necessary, absolutely mandatory stop at Ben & Jerry's for hot chocolate and fresh whipped cream, just to warm up . It's all really so wonderful. We are so blessed to live here and call … (2 comments)
