Did you know that there are actually 365 ¼ days in a year?

365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds, to be exact.

Our calendar is meant to track a Solar year and after 4 years, those 4 extra 1/4 days add up. The reason we have a Leap Year is to allow the calendar to catch up to the solar year. February 29th, Leap Day, is added to the calendar every 4 years.

But wait....This still doesn't quite add up. The exact length of a solar year is actually 11 minutes and 14 seconds less than 365 ¼ days. So Part II of correcting the calendar is to omit Leap Year 3 times every 400 years.

I got the scoop from a site called Leap Year 101. It was a pretty interesting article.

So what does this have to do with Real Estate....
Well, it means that you have an extra day this year to buy and / or sell a house!

So get moving!

Snow in Roswell Georgia

Tomorrow is supposed to be a balmy 60° day. So unlike the weather we had just a week ago.
Just 9 days ago, the weatherman said it was going to snow in Roswell Georgia.
And, snow, it did.

A cold rainy and snowy day calls for a big pot of soup, dontcha think?
So the first thing I did that Saturday morning was go to the grocery store.
It was only 8:15am and the parking lot at my local Publix was full. Seems like the whole town was there buying milk and bread and whatever else they could before the streets got slick and they couldn't drive any where.

I bought all the ingredients that I needed to make a big pot of Sweet and Sour Cabbage soup with Flanken.
I got home to find Hubby snoozing on the couch so I put the groceries away as quietly as I could.
While making room in the fridge I came across 2 tubs of cookie dough that I bought from one of the neighborhood kids. So much for the soup. I decided to make cookies for breakfast instead. LOL

Six dozen cookies later it was snowing.

Poochie Neisa decided she wanted out. So Hubby and I bundled up. Hubby grabbed the leash, I grabbed the camera, we both grabbed umbrellas and off we went.

On our walk, we saw one of the neighbor's kids watching the snow through their storm door. I went over and told his mom about my baking. She bundled the boys up and they all came over. Cookies for all of us.

And then it was time to play.

We played in my back yard.....

This is Stephanos getting ready to toss a snowball to Neisa. She was so funny. She could not find the snowball after it hit the ground so she just nose dived into the snow and came up with a mouthful!

This is Stephanos and his brother Christos.

After eating about a dozen cookies each, they ran circles in my backyard trying hard to keep landing in the same footsteps each time.
