flower mound: Local News for North Texas - 11/07/24 10:02 PM
Waiting for rates to improve could be a costly mistake. When single family residential homes are in high demand and inventory is low, and there are more buyers than houses for sale, as soon as the market corrects and rates improve, there will potentially be more buyers with fewer houses to bid on, and may be offering to pay more than list price. The seller's goal is to get as much money as they can. That is what typically happens during a Seller's Market. If you're goal is to buy before the end of the year, now is the time to … (8 comments)

flower mound: Photo Journalism About Trees - 10/22/24 05:38 AM
Photo Journalism about Trees by Patricia Feager
Why are trees important when buying or owning a home in Texas? Warm, hot days of summer and fall causes people to want to cool off. It is just too uncomfortable. Trees provide shade. It's all a matter of degrees. For example, a house with shade trees is about 20 to 40 degrees cooler than homes on lots without trees. Inflation continues to rise. To save money on energy, trees are something to think about! The feature photo was shot in Flower Mound in North Texas. 
Trees and rain are very important when living in Texas. Rain … (7 comments)

Photo Journalism 9/23/204 by Patricia Feager

Roses continue to cling to the vines. They know what Fall means and find it hard to let go. So I bring them indoors, one-by-one to help me remember the seasons have now changed.
 

Flowers are for sale at the Grapevine Farmer's Market. This daisy pattern reminded me of a quilt I tried to make when I was about 17 years old. I don't know what happened to it but the memory is still there. Photographed on 9/21/2024.
 

This was one of the first Gerber Daisy I planted in early Spring and what a nice surprise because it … (11 comments)

Photo Journalism on 9/20/2024 by Patricia Feager
 
There is a lot to learn about Nature in Denton County, Texas. LLELA (Lewisville Lake Environmental Learning Area) is local to residents for an admission fee in Lewisville, Flower Mound, Highland Village and several other cities in the County. In reference to nature, Marcus Aurelius, a Stoic Philosopher and Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 (Rome, Italy) said a lot in just 16 Words, exactly 37 words less than the ActiveRain 2024 September Blog 53 Words Challenge: 

Nature does nothing in vain, and so whatever is, 
is for the sake of something else." 

As a reminder, there are … (11 comments)

flower mound: Thankful Thursday for Denton County, Texas - 09/12/24 08:35 AM
My philosophy of life is to embrace each day with optimism without doom and gloom. The sky is not falling. Children fall down, get up, and they are always on the move, crawling, walking, dancing, and learning to reach for the sky! Kids may play with toys, dolls, and build with blocks. When they grow up many want to buy a home.
Denton County currently has a population of 1,036,720 and is projected to grow by 149,497 or 14.7 percent by 2028. The Civilian Labor Force in Denton County grew from 491,799 in January 2019 to the current level over a five … (7 comments)

It is Saturday morning. Still dark. Waiting for the sun to rise. Yesterday afternoon it rained. We needed the rain in Flower Mound, TX. The grass, trees, and leaves are still green but change is coming. My feature photo was taken at the red stoplight on Fairway Drive waiting to turn to go across the Grapevine Lake bridge and dam. In the distant dark thunderstorms Flower Mound skies a storm was in plain view. It wasn't raining in Grapevine. Not yet...

If you're looking for a new and soothing place to go for coffee, breakfast, or lunch, I recommend Cerulean Blue Coffee House located in Parker's Square across from the Gazebo in Flower Mound, Texas. 
Cerulean is a hue of blue that looks like the Mediterranean Sea. What's unique about this new restaurant is you feel welcomed. The owners designed the Coffee House this way because they want you to feel relaxed and at home. There are two separate areas with fireplace, couch chairs, and coffee table.

The Temple Baptist Church in Flower Mound's pond is a natural wonder. The waterlilies have bloomed! It looks like a Monet Painting.
 
 
Water is the driving force of all nature.

I pondered at the pond. In playing cards an Ace beats a pair. If a playing card with a single spot ranks as the
highest card, then in life, wouldn't a pair beat an Ace?

flower mound: Housing Market Stats & Growth for Flower Mound, Texas - June 2024 - 07/21/24 05:19 AM
Housing Market Stats for the Month of June continues to show Flower Mound a very desirable place to live. The City of Coppell announced that Subaru Corporation of Japan plans to relocate its central region office to Coppell, Texas from Itasca, Illiniois, and add a support center. When Toyota announced they were moving their headquarters from Torrance, California in 2014 to Plano, Texas, it caused a shortage of inventory in Plano and many people were moving to other towns and cities. Most likely, the same will be true soon when Subaru has completed its move to Coppell. The Town of Flower … (10 comments)

The Green Anoles are native Texas lizards. As the temperature gets hotter, reptiles live in harmony with garden creatures. They are usually seen where plants are bright green.

Photo Journaling by Patricia Feager
Landscaping gardening is something I do myself. I began to reevaluate the worth and beauty of my home the day I made a commitment to purchase and pay off my mortgage on time not only for an investment in home ownership, but also from nature's point of view.  

When I begin to dig dirt on my hands and knees I'm already thinking about distance, height, and whether or not I have good soil. I prefer perennials but I don't turn a blind eye to annuals, especially if they grab my attention. All plants have value to butterflies and … (5 comments)

An abundance of rain mixed with sunshine creates beautiful green trees! On Tuesday, June 18, 2024, I drove down Hide-A-Way Lane in Flower Mound. My surroundings were lush greenery on a narrow road. 

 
A few feet ahead of the narrow bridge was this tree that my parents told me was called a Lady Cigar Tree. To be clear, I never smoked a cigarette or anything in my entire life. But I must confess, as a kid, I pretended I was smoking a Lady Cigar! And then I grew up. Later on in life, I learned these trees were … (13 comments)

This weekend has been a special time to honor the Flag on June 14 for Flag Day. When you think of Flower Mound, think Patriotism. Driving home from Denton to get to Flower Mound, the exit is obvious because you will see one of the biggest flags made in honor of the American Flag as a reminder about what it means to  those that served (no picture was taken during driving). That big flag takes my breath away every time. Once you get to the Town of Flower Mound and if you're lucky enough to live there, it's not unusual to … (9 comments)

When you think of Flower Mound, and you love flowers, think of me. Flower Mound is my home. Like many people who searched for a place on earth for a destination to call home, I came to Flower Mound for the same reasons others before me settled in this Town. I am attracted to the name of the Town and to the prairies and wildflowers.

 
It was on the bench of my Feature Photo taken on June 13, 2024, where the Prairie Grasses grow where I meditated and pondered. Under the two trees that split and continued to grow, next to each … (10 comments)

When. you think about buying a home in Flower Mound, and you love flowers, think of me. The lilies are blooming in my garden. The sprinkler system is working. It's a cloudy morning.
