  HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Thursday Oct. 31,
Now what to do with your Halloween Pumpkins

I like to keep pumpkins out until after Thanksgiving if they look good. Please think twice before dumping your Halloween pumpkins in the trash and, instead, recycle them!
Here are some recycling suggestions:
• Chop the pumpkin into smaller pieces (to speed up composting) before putting it in your compost bin to turn it into a nutrient-rich garden amendment. Or bury them in the ground 10 in. deep.
• Let the pumpkin decompose in a corner of your yard; you may be rewarded with another pumpkin vine next year!
• Place the pumpkin in a wooded area where squirrels and deer will feast on it.  
*Raise pumpkins off the ground to protect smaller creatures like hedgehogs, who might accidentally consume too much and become unwell.
*Squirrels and birds will love pumpkins as a treat, but let's make sure we're keeping them safe.
*Place them in spots away from roads to avoid potential accidents.
*Dispose of any leftover pumpkins after a few days to prevent them from rotting or attracting pests.
Here’s why making the effort to recycle pumpkins is important:  The cost of trash disposal is based on weight. Pumpkins are heavy! and take up to 20 years to decompose in a landfill. 
 


 Be Careful of the Deer in the Headlights - t's Mating season for Deer and they are a lot more active. According to AAA, the most crashes involving animals occur in October, Nov. and Dec  It's also darker earlier in the evening once Daylight Saving Time ends during the first week in November.

What our clients are saying  

Karen was fantastic. She did a great job staging, marketing, and photographing my house. It was so great I got a fantastic offer on my house. Highly recommend her. From Karen - Eddie received $45,000 over asking price for his home. He was thrilled!

 

~ Eddie Papa

Karen sold my mom's home in Dartmouth for me everything was up front and open she did all the foot work and paper work I had no time to do . She handled all of the details perfectly she called me at every turn to keep me in the loop she helped me make good decisions that needed to be made I was so satisfied with her professional and personal skills I recommended her to friends. Sousa Family Dartmouth Ma * update from Karen- I was able to help Sue sell her home in Dartmouth MA and move closer to her son and grandchildren.

 

~ Sousa Family

We have bought & sold quite a bit of properties over the last 35 years & have had the fortune of working with some very fine Real Estate agents. We had a property for sale that didn't sell last year and Karen contacted us, telling us she could sell our property. We lived out of state and hadn't done much work on it, other than repairs & maintenance. It was in need of extensive remodeling and the septic system needed to be replaced. Karen focused on the positives in her Marketing of the property and got quite amount of interest in the property. She was relentless & must have showed that property 2 dozen times until she found the perfect match for our property. It was by far the hardest sale of the year for her, but her determination paid off. Like we said in the beginning , we have worked with some very fine Real Estate agents over the years, but none as determined as Karen. If you want your property sold, Karen will sell it for you. We highly recommend her !!!! Gordon & Janice

 

~ Gordon & Janice
