I had some weeds in my back yard and I was going to cut them down.  I was going to cut them down because they looked ugly but I thought to myself, why not give these weeds a chance to prove themself to me and so, I did. I was certainly glad I did not cut them down because these are what the weeds look like.  They are simply beautiful.  In life, sometimes we do not give things the opportunity to prove themself to us and so we never know.  Wow!  Am I ever glad that I did not cut down the weeds because Bumble Bees and regular Bees and Yellow Jackets have really enjoyed the pollen from the Golden Rod that gets as tall as 10 to 12 feet tall?  Bees and Mold Removal CharlotteI have enjoyed taking numerous photos of the insects who have been feasting on the weeds and I am so glad I kept the wee...

First-time home sellers might not know the frustration that comes with listing a house on sale. The reality is there are plenty of stressful factors and situations that you can run into once you’re selling a home. Don't worry, though: this might make home selling difficult, but not impossible. To successfully sell your home in Myers Park, Charlotte, NC, you might need to work harder than usual. This includes some things that you can control and those you can’t.  According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), only 30% of sellers become extremely dissatisfied throughout the selling process.
