Sometimes we consult the clouds to figure out what the weather condition will be.  This is not an exact science however we do it anyway.Here is an example of one of those times we will propably get it right.  The dark ominous clouds is almost a sure sign there will be a thunderstorm.At times this is a better way of forecasting the weather, than checking it online.

Walking land in the Northeast in the Fall and WinterYou might be thinking why would anyone want to walk a large track of land in the Northeast at this time of year, even after a snowfall.Well this is a great time of year to look at land because the leaves are down, so you can  see areas of a property that might not have been visible when the trees were covered in leaves. Here is a small lot which is much easier to walk now that the leaves are down.  It is located in an established Red Hook neighborhood,  in a convenient location.54 Manor Road Red Hook NY 12571   Affordable BOHA Red Hook building lot Overview Maps Photos Features $40,000 Lots and Land Main Features Lot: 0.48 acre(s)MLS #: 345999 Location 54 Manor Road Red Hook, NY 12571USA Jennifer Fivelsdal R.E.

Back to Back closing of two Red Hook NY properties  30 Tee Lane, Red Hook NY 12571From the address you can tell 30 Tee Lane is on a golf course.  The Fairways is the only golf community in Red Hook.I had a buyer wanting one of these townhouses, and because I had recently closed another home with the listing Agent and also lost out on another townhouse  he had listed in the  complex, he told me one would be coming on the market.  I had my buyer ready to go look at the unit as soon as it was possible to do so. The offer was placed and accepted which led to one of the two closings on October 30th.3 Bedroom| 2.5 Bath| 1710 Fin.sq. ft.|full basement | Garage  | Sold for $315,000  10 Glen View Drive, Red Hook NY 12571 This was a three bedroom split level home at the end of a cul-de-sac, surro...

I remember the days when I worked in on office building  and my view was of other office buildings.  I am so happy that is no longer the case, I can now truly enjoy the seasons from my office window.  These views can inspire me or help me get over stressful day.Right now I am enjoying the variety of fall colors by just looking out my office window.If you are looking to purchase a home in the Hudson Valley now is a great time to do so.  Why not enjoynature's eye candy while doing so.

Just sold! Red Hook NY Cape | 52 Manor RdThis Red Hook NY Cape at 52 Manor Rd was just sold.  When you see this house the word cute comes to mind.  Setback, and down a hill from the road it offers much privacy; not to mention the backyard borders thick woods.The former owner took pride in her home, it was immaculate. Her love of gardening was evident, beautiful shrubs and perennial garden beds all around the house.This house is within walking distance to a stream, a bike ride to the Red Hook Recreational Park and Bard college.The home buyer was excited to move in, to get started on making this house her home. Although this adorable Red Hook NY Cape at 52 Manor Rd is no longer available there are other Red Hook homes for sale and you can check them out right hereRed Hook Homes For Sale

This year I was pleased with the Forsythia bushes.  There were times in the last week when the sun hit these flowers  it was as if the entire hedge was on fire.Just below the Forsythia you will find the Pulmonaria which is more like a grown cover  offering blue and pink flowers.Have a great week and take time to enjoy the Spring colors.

Red Hook population according to data from Dutchess County is just over 13,000, this include the village. There are many small neighborhoods in this small town north  of New York City. The Echo Valley subdivision consist of homes built mostly in the 1990's, although there is a farmhouse from the 1800's. The Sawkill creek cut across the the area, and cross Echo Valley Road under a narrow bridge. read more at: Echo Valley a neighborhood in Red Hook NY  by Jennifer Fivelsdal of JFIVE Homes Realty LLC.

The crops have been harvested and the fields will lay bare until the next growing season.  The snow clad Catskill Mountains and even the sky gives every indication that winter is just around the corner. This was the scene looking towards Budds Corner,  Red Hook NY.   This street has several farms and is always a place of much activity   Some of the fresh produce you get in NYC originates here.

  Red Hook Snowstorm This was the first snowstorm of the season in Red Hook.  Snow came down all day, and the trees were covered with heavy snow, most of them bending over due to the weight.  Although I was concern about the trees I had to admit the snow covered trees looked like a winter wonderland and was truly beautiful. I knew it would be a matter of time before the electricity would go out.  Some  people did not have their power back for an entire day. Walking around my property I was not happy with what I saw, broken branches, and trees down.  The dogwood trees sustained a lot of damage, and  the forsythia  was in full bloom which meant no spring flowers. The first snowstorm left its mark in Red  Hook but it was not as bad as in Buffalo.  No matter now terrible things might seem ...

                            This was not a sunny day but the Fall colors still brightened the day. This burst of color was at the top of Old Post Road North, Red Hook NY.  Every year I look forward to this colorful corner and I hope I will get a chance to get another shot on a sunny day.
