The Colors this Year have Been SpecialWe did not have a very warm summer and in reality the hottest days of the year didn't come until early in September.  Along with the cooler temps, we  dry summer with some of the much needed rain coming also in September.  This color change process, which to many seems to be the end of cycle for the trees leaves, is in reality the growth cycle for the following year. If the colors of this fall are any indication of the growth next year, then hopefully we'll have a mild winter and they can bud early. If you would like information on homes for sale in Watertown CT please call me at 203-206-0754 or send me an email. I would be happy to assist you or to discuss homes on the market in Watertown CT. The Colors of Fall have Peaked in Watertown CT

The colors in Watertown CT are close to peak.  It would seem ths they are more bight and colorful that the past 2 years.  Maybe a combination of the harsh winter of last year and the rains of late summer.It will most probably hit peak this week, especially with the cold weather that has dropped over us. It is expected to stay brisk through Mid-week easily 15 degrees colder than normal for the time of year.As a tease, just minutes before I took the first photo we were hit with some passing dark clouds.That discoloration is not a bad photo, it's the flurries that came down on us for about 5 minutes.It melted as quickly as it fell, but still not a good sign of things to come.  For now we'll enjoy the colors and even tolerate the clean-up that will follow.  Hopefully that white stuff will s...

We are early into October and just a few short days ago we were into very warm weather.  I was in the parking lot of the Golf Course at Crestbrook waiting for our tee time and we were waiting due to a frost delay. Across the parking lot the season of Fall was very visible. It seems that literally overnight the colors jumped onto the trees.  This morning, the frost was very visible on the grass, and the mist off the water gave it all an eerie sense.  It does seem to be an early color change and hopefully it doesn't mean as harsh a winter as we had last year.It's Fall and it came on us Quickly in Central Connecticut

Geese on a Break at Merriman Pond in Watertown CTMany ponds get get stagnant in warm weather and to offset the growth of algae and weeds, a circulation pump will aerate the water.  Such is the case at Merriman in in Watertown CT. In the photo, the buoy that keeps it ff the bottom floats along and as I was passing, I spotted these 2 geese taking a break on the buoy. At times the float will be slightly submerged and the geese appear to be standing on water.  Obviously, even a geese that spends so much time in water nee a break from time to time.Even a Goose Can Get Tired of the Water in  Watertown CT

Along side the 4th tee at The Golf Course at Crestbrook Park is a small pond.  If looking carefully, you can see some small fish and the pond has an abundance of frogs, or at least it once did.We caught this small crane along the reeds apparently looking for breakfast.It did not fly away.  Must be the need to feed over came the urge to flee.There are all manner of things one can see around us if we just take the time.A Morning Snack by the Pond at Crestbrook Park

WATERTOWN CT-REAL ESTATE MARKET REPORT for JUNE 2015 What does the real estate market look like in Watertown, CT? Real estate prices in Watertown CT have continued to fluctuate between $175K and $250K over the past year, with the number of sales following their traditional pattern of climbing sales during the spring selling season. There are more homes than usual under deposit, and pending prices are slightly higher than average sales prices, which have climbed above the same level they were at last year. These factors, and the fact that days on market are still under 3 months, is a strong enticement for sellers thinking about putting their homes on the market. There are 127 single family Watertown CT homes for sale, with an average listing price of $413,359 and a median listing price o...

Which Activity Gets the Nod?As I was driving into the Golf Course at Crestbrook Park this morning, a flash of color along a bank of Merriman Pond caught my attention.  It was a golf cart loaded with the clubs, ready for a morning round, but the driver of the cart seemed more intent on casting for some of the fish in the lake.He made a few casts and didn't like the results so he put the rod back into the bag and headed for the tee.   Hopefully the round of golf would have been better for him than the fishing was. The Conflicts That must Be Decided

It is supposed to be the initial event before the course is opened for the season.  The 2015 Crestbrook Park Men's Association breakfast is typically the initial meting to set forth the activities for the new golf season as well as a gathering of members to socialize over breakfast and then go hit the course. Well, this morning in the main dining area of Sunset Grill at Crestbrook Park, the food was out, the members were gathered, raffle tickets were sold, and all were enthusiastic to a point. With snow still covering the course, it will be a while before the links are opened, possibly as much as 3 additional weeks, weather permitting.   In fact, the only outside activities at the park this mornng had nothing to do with golf.  The Lake at the course is still frozen over, so the ice fish...
