You all know the song "Love is in the Air". Well, since I was down with a cold yesterday and three different possible buyer appointments didn't pan out, I decided to get some much needed sunshine and work outside getting my garden ready. so, I was humming that tune but thinking... "spring is in the air"! I love to be outside, I love flowers, and I really love my garden. Here are pictures of the first signs of spring waking up in my backyard garden. Having grown up in the city of Philadelphia, unless you counted the fig tree my father tried heroically to grow every year in our little concrete backyard, I didn't have much experience with flowers. I bought books and watched my neighbors, bugged anyone who would answer me with a zillion questions and have grown to love making the garden beautiful. Happy Spring!
Okay, this might not look like much, but I took this picture a week or so ago and it was the only flower blooming in my yard. It's the first spring 2008 crocus and while it's obvious I could use a mulch delivery, isn't it beautiful?
These are the first daffodils to open this spring. I took this picture just a few minutes ago. Wow. Nature is truly a gift from God. My forsythias aren't really in full bloom yet, but you can see the promise in the picture below.
I got two cuttings of these from my good friend Denise's garden and I really have no idea what they are. They bloom around now and then the flowers do stay around, but get like dried flowers. The foliage is very pretty all through the summer.
Last but not least, these little cute things!
Yesterday, I had lunch with a client at this neat little place in West Chester that I had never heard of. The Art Scene. We had a wonderful lunch and then moseyed around checking out the art work and sculptures. What a great find. If you get a chance, check it out!
10/31/08 update... I heard from a friend that the Art Scene closed it's doors. I'm very sorry to hear this.
My best friend and office mate Leann, was busy as a beaver yesterday, negotiating multiple offers on her new listing in the West Chester area. If you listen to the media, this is a thing of the past. Apparently, not so! Leann negotiated most of last night and today she closed the deal about $25,000 over asking. Realtors are trained to negotiate on behalf of the seller. A good Realtor will put your interest ahead of their own. A good Realtor will help you get your home ready for showing so that you are putting your best foot forward. If you are thinking of putting your house on the market, don't count on luck. Count on the expertise of a Realtor.The signs are there!

From Steve and Lisa
What made you select me as your Realtor? - We liked your demeanor the first time you took us to see a house. We were taken by your approachability, flexibility, and... you're just so nice. Plus, there was no pressure to sign the exclusive agreement.
What did you like best about working with me? - You never gave up on us. Even by the one hundredth and sixty fifth house (or something in that ball park), you continued to treat us the same way, each time we saw another house.
Was there something about me that you didn't like? Be honest. No; the entire experience was good. We were very pleased.
Looking back on your transaction, what stands out the most in your mind? The fact that you never pushed us in a direction that we were uncomfortable with. For example, when selling our home, we chose not to hold an open house. That meant a lot.

Would you recommend me to a friend or a relative? Definitely.

Was there something about me that you didn't like? Be honest. Honestly? No, we were all very happy with your service.
Looking back on your transaction, what stands out the most in your mind? Who knew buying a house over six months could be so much fun. You kept our protracted, evening-time house hunt pleasant and painless.
