In Colorado Springs, it is often said, ˜If you dont like the weather, just wait a minute.

Example:

• Yesterday, April 30, 2008, it was almost 80 degrees out. I was wearing a tank top and flip flops.
• Today, May 1, 2008, it is snowing. I mean REALLY snowing ¦

May 1, 2008: 9:15am

May 1, 2008: 9:30am

May 1, 2008: 9:40am

And this is not just a little snow. This is sideways-blowing, sticks to everything SNOW. ¦ in May.

I love the fact that Colorado Springs has such diverse weather, but I am really sick of the snow and am really ready for Spring. Please?

Update: May 1, 2008: 10:45am Blue Skies? SUN?!?

As you drive east on Dublin Boulevard from Powers, you will see a makeshift cross towering above some trees on the north side of Dublin - just past Poudre.

Why is there a coss here?

Well, if you have lived in Stetson Hills for more than a year, you will know that that there has been some major building and earth moving going on off Dublin Blvd.. Even today, you can see a pile of displaced houses waiting for a new home.

This is a short post for the single purpose of helping any of my readers who have their OWN blogs increase their readership. This has nothing to do with Colorado Springs Real Estate, but I am sure some of you will find this very useful. In particular, I am sure that this post may help other real estate bloggers that we, as Colorado Springs Realtors®, know and trust.

RSS Hugger is a website "developed to help bloggers promote their blogs, and to help visitors discover new blogs that write about subjects that the readers are interested in." This site already has some excellent blogs listed, like:

MIAMISM - Maine and New Hampshire Real Estate Blog - New Hampshire Real Estate Blog - MiOaklandCounty - RSSPieces

It appears upon initial research that these guys/gals really know what they are doing. I am looking forward to my experiences with RSS Hugger and invite you to check them out, if you would like to attract more readers to your blog.

Life. Money. Hope.

Do you listen to the Dave Ramsey Show on the radio? If you are like us (Derek and Mariana Wagner) and many of our Colorado Springs real estate buyer and seller clients, you not only listen to Dave Ramsey, but are working your way through the Financial Peace University and on your way to a Total Money Make Over.

We are firm believers in the Dave Ramsey school of thought when it comes to debt, and are currently on our way to being completely debt free, like Dave recommends. We are on baby step 2 ... paying off all of our debt. What a great feeling it is to NOT have the theme song "I owe. I owe. So off to work I go." Running though our heads every morning!
