St Pete Rocks, An Artistic Movement

There's a fun "secret" game happening all around us every day. You feel lucky when you find one and excited to hide one. Kids and adults alike are taking part in a fun game and it all started on Facebook @StPeteRocks.

The possibilities are endless for painted rocks and places to hide and find them. A good friend of mine mentioned the rocks on Facebook, then a few days later I happened to be the "lucky one" who found 2 rocks at a local children's store in Seminole. I was with my 4 year old son who I told about this "secret" game and he was thrilled. A child is naturally drawn to collecting rocks and what a fun thing to do together and spend time outside.

Low Inventory Didn't Hinder National Home Sales

 

Severe supply shortages have plagued the housing market for the past few months, and March was no exception. By the end of the month, there were 1.83 million existing homes on the market. This is the 22nd straight month that inventory has fallen year over year; March's inventory was 6.6 percent lower than a year ago. At the current sales pace, unsold inventory would supply the market for 3.8 months. What's more, 48 percent of homes remained on the market... Read More

No Space? Try Container Gardening

 

The beauty of container gardening is that it doesn't require a lot of space to get great results. Many different types of plants such as annual and perennial flowers, vegetables, and herbs can be successfully grown in the smallest corners of patios or balconies. All that's needed is an area that provides about five hours of sunlight a day.

Choosing a Container
An important part of container gardening is, of course, the container. Avoid small containers or ones that have narrow openings. Plastic or terra-cotta pots with predrilled drainage holes that are sold in gardening and home... Read More

Enhancing Your Home's Curb Appeal

 

First impressions mean a lot—especially when it comes to your home's curb appeal. Whether you're getting ready for resale or just want to update the exterior, you may think your home is ready for a curbside makeover.

According to a new National Home Design Survey from Sherwin-Williams, more than 80 percent of homeowners believe their home's curb appeal could be improved, and 40 percent describe their home's appearance as average or poor. Even those who said their home's appeal was "pretty good" felt there was more they could do to improve it.

The good news is that curb appeal can be improved with minimal investment, according to John Gidding... Read More
