  Holy Cow!  Living in a region that has four distinct seasons is very awesome.  There's a lot of evidence outside that autumn is on it's way here in the mountains, cooler nights, lower humidity and leaves covering the ground. For the first time in a long time I'm not quite ready to say goodbye to summer yet.  When I was going through some photo files, I came across this cow photo from the East Fork community of Sylva taken early in the summer of 2010.     That's the great thing about photos, I look at the photo and can remember the day clearly and it makes me feel like I can delay the inevitable for just a little while longer.

There are some common themes to what people are looking for in a home in the mountains of Western North Carolina...and let's face it...fireplaces are a major plus in a mountain home.   A friend asked us to take a look at her house, for a brief moment she was thinking about possibly selling.  The house was filled with these terrifice whimsical touches throughout the house but I particularly liked what looks like a distant cousin to the tree dudes I'm so fascinated with.

A few days ago while I was headed out East Fork to pick up some signs and a lockbox, I passed a familiar scene that I’d never stopped to photograph before…the Happy Shed of East Fork. Nope, springtime and temperatures in the 60s would have been too easy. Give me the high 90s, bees, ticks and snakes any old day! Of course, for those people considering a move to the mountains of Western North Carolina our “mountain breezes” actually make for a very cool high 90s and we are legendary for our friendly and well-mannered bees, ticks and snakes. East Fork Road is about 6 miles south of Dillsboro and 10 miles north of Franklin. There are bits and pieces of creativity like this all along the road. In fact, there are a lot of communities in Jackson County, NC that it is apparent the neighbors ha...

It’s happened to just about every REALTOR at one time or another. You’re told the property is vacant, but still you knock and you call out before you enter. Even once you are on the property you’ve got the sense you aren’t alone. Then the unexpected encounter happens!       They didn’t hear you knock or call out because they were lounging in the hammock on the deck…it’s always a mystery as to who gets more surprised!
