Some Builders Are Now Leasing Inventory

Yes it's true. There are now some brand new homes available to lease in College Station Texas if that is what you are seeking to rent right now. Well.... they are new.... but maybe some are not brand new. A few builder homes have been setting for 6 to 12 months and some in the upper price ranges, longer than that. And perhaps a few builders will call it quits this year if not cut back on their speculative inventories.

If you are seeking a new home to lease in College Station then give me a call. We have a great leasing division that can most likely help you locate exactly what you want! Oh by the way ...I do have a brand new home that has never been occupied, and is available for immediate occupancy. My home building company will be willing to lease it if you are interested or have a client looking. This is a 3 Bedroom patio home in south College Station. Give me a call .

Have a prosperous week!

Wordless Wednesday Special Place

A good while back I did a post about how everyone should have a special place to go to , to think and relax after work each day. We have developed several little special places around our home that my wife and I visit every evening befor dusk just to enjoy nature and the quiet. We have a long fence outside our bedroom that is litterally covered in a big variety of blooming vines all of which emit enchanting fragrances that attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, and at dusk our very favorite ...the Hawk moths come out during the hottest part of our central Texas summers to savor the nector these flolwers produce.

Talk about an experience involving all the sensors....this is one! These moths are about the size of a small hummingbird . They are not spooked very easily and you can almost touch them . And sometimes if you are lucky to get close enough, you can hear their little wings making a helicopter sound and occasionally they will brush your face. The fragrance of some of these tropical vines is extraordinary both for humans and God's little miracles that feed on them. So all of this going on at once is better than satellite TV any day in our book!

Take time to smell the roses and enjoy you special place!

Totally Recycled Gardening In The Brazos Valley

Gardening in Texas and in the Brazos Valley can be tough. Weather conditions can change overnight. In March when you put your garden in you never know if it will snow the next day or be 90 degrees. So gardeners here in Texas and in the Brazos Valley too learn to adapt the best the can . Then you never know what insect is going to show up next . So far this year we have had a plague of moth caterpillars, grasshoppers, and squash bugs. And last but not least I am in weed world war.

But it really is worth all the headaches to finally get some results. Nothing tastes better than home grown veggies. They are not always the prettiest but who cares when the flavor is superior!

A few years ago I made a personal decision to really go organic and on our garden. Other than a small amount of commercial fertilizer I have pretty well stayed true to that commitment. Then a year ago we decided to finally convert to Heirloom variety seeds so we could also harvest and then plant our own seeds. Most folks don't realize the modern hybrid varieties don't produce seed that will grow.

Finally we are recycling our grass clippings and left over vegetable matter by composting it and then putting it back into the garden.

Is all this a lot of work? Yes.

Is it worth it? Yes...if nothing else for the simple peace of mind that what you are eating is clean , healthy and tastes like it is supposed to taste.

Fom The Garden...................

To the Kitchen..............

To The stove top...........

.

To The Compost bin.............

And finally Back Again......to the Garden!

Gardening in the Brazos Valley can be fun for the whole family and there is no doubt a great vegetable garden can be an asset to your total property value.
