Thinking of a Farm Share for 2012?

janetleap

We know eating our fruits and veggies are good for us but it can be hard to shop for and prepare them.  One convenient alternative to doing the shopping yourself is joining a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture).  They deliver a “share” of produce each week (or every other week, depending on the CSA) to a location near you.  Just Google your city along with the term farm share for a location near you in the Boulder/Lafayette/Louisville area.

Get your tickets soon for the Boulder Film Festival.  These events usually sell out so be warned!  I know I’m psyched for celebrity sightings with stars like William H Macy and Martin Sheen in attendance.  So mark these dates on your calendar: February 16-19, 2012.

Tips for a Fall Home Sale

janetleap

If your home is on the market this fall, make sure you’re following these tips to maintain a warm and inviting atmosphere:

  • Rake those leaves and shovel that walk! While you may be done with the majority of landscaping for the year, be sure to maintain what is there for a neat appearance and a safe environment.
  • Keep the lights on! Whether you open all of the curtains and blinds during the day or add a few extra lamps for evening showings, be sure you are showing off your rooms to their best advantage.
  • A warm home is an inviting home. Keep the heat at a warm upper 60’s – not too hot if a prospective buyer is bundled up and not too cool if it’s a warm day outside.
