The daffodils are trying so hard not be upset by this sneaky snowstorm on March 25th! This has been a record winter season for snow... getting 10 -16 inches is just unheard of!  Ready to move on toward Spring.....

Ginger likes to find a spot in the sun - and lounging on the straw bales is the best place. Frigid temps for two days this week caused us to fill up the pig house with straw and a heat lamp and bundle the chickens up in their houses. Dogs and cats always come in at night so everyone was snug. Tha...

On the way to Virginia to list some land, Debbie and I thought we had taken a wrong turn.. but then we saw the pumpkin patches and knew we were on the right road!  There were migrant workers putting them in rows then a truck was following - they were throwing the pumpkins up to the guys on the tr...

I walked the whole thing on Friday doing my Visual Tour... I had to take off my fleece jacket.  We rarely get listings for this much ...

I meant, Are you a FB FAN of the Stokes County Animal Shelter???  Friend them and spread the word!!   thanks,
