Charlottesville Real Estate

The Charlottesville Real Estate Group will be bringing on this fine home soon. Will radiant floors and craftsmanship throughout, this fine home is a must see.

Readers of my blog may remember that my clients purchased this home at the beginning of this year. Unfortunately a family situation has required that they move out of state.

The good news for buyers is that in the time that they owned this home, they have added 5 sky-lights, 2 grand windows that look over the gardens and did a total renovation of the kitchen. The owner, who ran a culinary school created a fabulous kitchen that is state of the art.

Let us know if you would like a private tour. We will be in the MLS next week.

Today my family and I took a little hike and during the hike decided it was time to do a little gardening.

So when we got back home we got right to work. Well it was not long before I heard a SCREAM!!!

SNAKE!!!

I came running with a shovel (to cut his head off) thinking it was a copperhead. I was pleased to see it was a nice little 3 foot Black Snake,

Excuse the photos as I took them with my blackberry and not my camera...

Well my wife actually scared him and he laid there very still...

His is so cute I think he is smiling at the camera!

I let this little guy go and he is evidently living in my barn.

Note: a black snake can bite but he is good to have around to take care of mice and copperheads...

Back to gardening!

One of the grand things around Charlottesville is seeing the Hot Air Balloons
(almost anytime of the year).

Recently I stopped and got these 3 photos of the Boar's Head Balloon just over my head:

Time just flies by when you are in love.... It seems like yesterday when we had our first date... Now we have two wonderful children and live in a fantastic place, Charlottesville Virginia.

The card my wife gave me today says it all and I want to share it:

young and in love"

"Being our age and STILL being in love!"
