fall: Why the Fall is a GREAT Time to Sell Your Home
- 10/14/16 12:21 AM
Sometimes, it really pays to go against the crowd. As in most areas, people around Central Pennsylvania like to put their homes on the market in the Spring. Early Summer is a high season for closings. And yet, there are a few powerful reasons why fall might actually be a better time than either spring or summer to sell a home. It makes perfect sense when you think about it. By the fall, the bulk of spring listings are expiring. As a result, there is less competition, particularly when you consider the NEW label and the fewer days on the market that the listing … (2 comments)

- 11/05/14 03:34 AM
Fall, what a beautiful time of the year! The colors, cooler temps and football. Enjoyment for all! Here are a few tips to get your yard ready for the cold months ahead. Clean up leaves before they suffocate your lawn and garden. Use them as mulch around plants, or in between planting rows in the vegetable garden, or add them to the compost bin. Up to 1” of leaves can be mown and mulched into your lawn. Remove fallen leaves that get caught in the foliage of shrubs and groundcovers. Take off any diseased or pest-infested foliage. “Tuck in” your perennial, … (9 comments)

fall: Wordless Wednesday? Does this qualify?
- 10/24/12 02:06 AM
When I took this picture of my 19 year old cat, Tiger, I personally felt "wordless". First, when I drove into the driveway, the sense of "contentness" this scene portrayed definitely left me without words. Second, after I recovered enough to grab my cell phone so I could take a picture, if I didn't remain "wordless" when I walked up to take the picture, Tiger would have jumped down to greet me! I hope you enjoy this sign of Fall in Central Pennsylvania as much as I did! … (13 comments)
fall: WAIT!! Fall has just started - It's too soon for Winter Displays!
- 10/14/12 09:57 AM
Do Woolly Bear Caterpillars Forecast Winter Weather? The Farmer's Almanac states that according to legend, the wider that middle brown section is (i.e., the more brown segments there are), the milder the coming winter will be. Conversely, a narrow brown band is said to predict a harsh winter. When my husband and I were out walking today. . . enjoying the Fall weather, we saw several of these woolly creatures. Then we went to several shopping stores and several of them had their Christmas Displays up (I do love JOY Christmas ornaments, but not in October!). We drove by Hershey Park and … (3 comments)
