What's grey and white and all over NW Ohio?

Toledo, Ohio

Now that you have put your thinking cap on the answer should appear quite quickly.

What is it, you say? It's a snow sky, of course.

We have had days and days of rain/snow mix and now we have had two days of snow and snow showers. The lawns are white again with the insulation that Mother Nature provides to us at this time of year.

I "skipped school" for a couple of hours today to just drive around and appreciate the cleanliness of it all. That inner peace that comes from the soft nature of the snow. I took a few photos and wanted to share them. They are in no particular order, have no particular story to tell, but I happen to think they are pretty.

So, without further ado, ENJOY!


Our beautiful pine tree in the backyard.


The barberry and rhododenrons hibernating beneath

the snow.


Where does this lead? Wait until spring to find out!


Too cold to sit and watch the world go by. Think I'll

come back in a couple months!

Market Snapshot - Toledo, OH

I have been watching the market in our area and wondering if we are truly seeing any relief. Even just a little.

So, in order to assuage my curiosity, I pulled a report from December 15, 2007 to January 18, 2008. I am pleasantly surprised.

While our home prices may not be as high as other areas, it seems as though the number of units sold is up and the DOM are down - albeit slightly.

I am encouraged by this short set of numbers. It will be interesting to see what the first quarter shakes out to be.
