Charlottesville Home sweet Home

Charlottesville Real Estate: Real Estate Agent in Charlottesville, VA


We had quite a snow storm yesterday, first a little rain. then sleet, then hail and them some of the biggest snow flakes I had ever seen.
Charlottesville is not know for big storms but we seem to get the tail end of some of the Northern Snow Storms.

Today I am working from my Home Office and this photo is the view outside my window. The roads and driveway still have a sheet of ice on them and the kids are home from School.

Working from my Charlottesville Home is certainly Sweet!

Clients and Snakes!

Charlottesville Real Estate: Real Estate Agent in Charlottesville, VA

Yesterday some clients stopped by my home to see how we had landscaped our back yard (on a slope). Well my wife came out to meet them and was watching their baby (asleep in the van).

She called for me as we had a vistor….

Snake in Virginia

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

Well my dog actually scared him and he laid there very still…

Snake in Virginia

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 business!
