A brand new year to start some brand new projects!
FEATURED PROJECT
This beautiful house on Green Willow can
be yours! The design blends so well into the small town atmosphere
of Wendell, North Carolina - but still is close to all the big
city amenities just minutes away!
Be sure to click on the Realtor link to find out all the details of
the house, and there is also a link to the "virtual tour" - where
you can actually go through the house and see what it looks like!

To help keep bugs from coming in your home, try stacking your
firewood up off the ground and away from your home.
Warm Lotion
Before climbing into the shower or bath, fill your bathroom
sink with hot water. Then place your favorite bottle of body
lotion in the water. When you get out of your shower/bath,
your lotion will be nice and warm...which is great during
the winter months!
Children
To keep a child's wrists warm in the winter while playing outside;
cut the toe area off old socks and one hole for the thumb to the
side. Then slide them on before their gloves or mittens and it
really keeps them dryer and warmer and happier!

Roses and More for your Valentine!
St. Valentine's Day is recognized in England, France, Austria, Germany, and the United States.
Although the custom of sending romantic cards to suitors began in the early part
of the nineteenth century, flowers are a more recent custom, not from any ancient
belief or tradition. Originally just men gave women flowers. In more recent decades,
women have given flowers to their true loves on St. Valentine's Day.
Traditionally, long-stemmed, red roses are associated with this holiday although carnations,
tulips, azaleas, and other flowers are catching up in popularity. So are sweetheart or
miniature roses, which are just as attractive, but not as expensive, as tea
roses and come in the same range of colors from red and pale pink to white, cream, lavender,
peach, and yellow.
Potted flowering plants will help extend your Valentine's Day greetings and brighten up winter
days ahead. Many florists, garden stores, even many grocery stores, carry potted azaleas,
cyclamen, and chrysanthemums and may even have unusual varieties. Kalanchoe, with its scarlet
red flowers set high on spikes, is usually seen around the Christmas holidays but works as a
gift here too. There are even more dwarf forms of this plant, with double flowers, called Calandiva.
African violets are one of the easiest flowering indoors plants to grow, and can be found with
reddish flowers in some varieties. Just make sure these stay warm, have bright but indirect light,
and don’t overwater. Use lukewarm water to avoid shocking the roots, and keep it off the leaves
to avoid spotting them.
Another group of potted flowering plants that has become quite popular are the orchids.
There are hundreds, mainly hybrids, to choose from at full service greenhouses or online.
These make quite special gifts. Just keep in mind orchids are generally epiphytic, meaning
they grow in a medium such as bark and not soil. This means they need frequent watering,
and higher humidity.
If your special someone is a gardener, present him or her with a "bouquet" of seed packages
for cut flower varieties including cosmos, delphiniums, shasta daisies, snapdragons, zinnias,
asters, and baby's breath (Gypsophila). Or promise to plant a culinary herb or perennial garden
in the spring. Gift certificates to local garden stores make great presents as well. If you
want to give roses, how about a coupon for an actual rose plant in the spring?
Your choices are endless. Valentine's Day isn't just roses any more!!
