Spent a few hours yesterday in the delightful Fall weather enjoying Deeerfield’s 5th Annual Arts Tour. It is worth the take…put it on your calendar for late October, 2009.

The Joys of Being “On the Road.”
Posted in Places, Thoughts, tagged nh, Rye on October 22, 2008| Leave a Comment »
I decided to go up the coast between Hampton Beach and Portsmouth today.
It was a very gray raw windy October day and back in Deerfield everything is dead from the heavy frosts we’ve recently had…and today was nothing but the preamble to Winter.
Low and behold, this scene literally popped out at me…I had to turn the car around, go back and photograph it, as it was such bright spot…in such a gray day….look at the color and contrast of these Cosmos and their background.
Sometimes it’s nice to be…”on the Road.” This moment made my day.
House Pricing Trends in Timberlane NH Area

Here’s an interesting chart showing the pricing trends of houses in the greater Timberlane Area of Rockingham County, New Hampshire. Since the week of July 6th.
This is being affected by “Bank Owned” properties, and that sellers are adjusting their asking prices significantly.
There are some really great buys out there right now, and there is money to be loaned.
What Realtors Spend
Posted in Real Estate, tagged real_estate on October 18, 2008| Leave a Comment »
At times I have felt that Realtors are unappreciated by sellers. Poor me? Nah, it simply is a frustration because I know so many agents who are true professionals and as such put their hearts, souls and even their own money into trying to do the right thing to sell someone’s “Home” while realizing it is simply a “House.”
One bone of contention during the listing and selling process is the seller expecting the Realtor to advertise their property in print publications like newspapers and real estate books, while the Realtor prefers the Internet.
I was reading an article that came out with this statistic:
“Agents said online ads and signage are “more valuable” for promoting a property. But when asked what their sellers felt was important, 92.4% said sellers mentioned newspaper ads.”

Fall in the Freese River

I decided to go down to the river behind the house this morning. The light looked good from the back yard, but when Reese and I got down on the river…it was bland. The best color was found in the river…I am always amazed at how clear the water is.

What You’d Expect?
Posted in Thoughts, tagged Manchester, O'Rielly, Oil on October 4, 2008| Leave a Comment »
Yesterday I needed to add some oil to my car’s engine, so I pulled into Klem’s Mobil Oil convenience station on Elm Street to buy a quart. It’s a nice clean store, with all the stuff you’d expect for such a store, including wine….but they didn’t have oil! Rite-Aid, the pharmacy, across the street had it. I didn’t expect that.
I was just emailing Bill O’Reilly…I was able to write it, but discovered that the only way you can correspond with him from his web-site is to be a Premium member. Oh, maybe I expected this one.
What Happened to Civility?

I’ve had another couple of days of “having it.” I wrote about starting with too much “Blame. ” After watching on You Tube, the Bill O’Reilly supposed interview of Barney Frank, I think we need to bring more Civility into our daily lives too.
According to Webster’s, Civility is: 2 a: civilized conduct ; especially : courtesy , politeness b: a polite act or expression.
One only has to watch 30 seconds of this clip to realize that what the lack of Civility does to the alleged interview…it wasn’t because there was no two-way-communications. There was no “Civility.”
