Moving? Visit Relocation.com first

by Tricia

I’ve only moved a couple of times in my life, but after our last move from our apartment to our house I decided that if we ever sell our house we’ll hire professionals to help us with our move.

Let’s face it – moving is stressful. Sometimes a move is just a move from one home to another, but many times it also includes other life changes such as being newly married, starting a new job or a position in a new location, or the purchase of your first house. Why not hire professionals to assist you with every step of your move? You’d be able to deal with whatever other changes might be happening in your life that much better.

If you will be moving sometime in the near future or perhaps might be relocating from your present location because of work you might want to visit Relocation.com.

Relocation.com has everything to assist you with your move. The site doesn’t just list moving companies, no, they also have several sections that will help you with all aspects of relocating from purchasing real estate to securing a mortgage or getting a loan to help you finance your move.

In the moving section you’ll be able to find companies that will assist you with a move within your state, to another state or even your move from one country to another. There’s listings for self service moving, moving companies, auto transport, a moving guide that will help you be sure that your move goes well from start to finish, and listings for international shipping and storage companies.

The people who’ve created Relocation.com have really gone a long way towards making the site a one stop relocating resource. Not only will you find listings for everything that I’ve already mentioned, but you’ll find apartment hunting listings, be able to get quotes for home and auto insurance, find an handyman or renovation company for your home improvement, and you’ll even find a Career section where you can search for a job in your new location.

Do you see what I mean? Once you begin exploring the site you could use it for all of your relocation needs. They’ve thought of everything that has to do with moving and relocating from one area to another to make it that much easier for you.

I also noticed that there are a number of great articles in each section. For example if you are moving there’s the moving guide and a number of other great moving related articles. If you are looking for a mortgage there’s articles about home equity and home mortgage loans, a mortgage calculator and many other informative articles.

The site is quite impressive once you realize how many resources are at your fingertips. If you will be relocating in the near future do take a moment and visit relocation.com.

The Fairy

The Fairy Rose

The Fairy is a very easy rose to grow. It’s a Polyantha, a species of rose related to the floribunda rose group. The fairy only grows to the size of about two feet so it’s ideal to use en mass as a ground cover or even as a low growing hedge.

I was going to post a photo of one of my lilies today but as I was going over the photos I’ve taken recently this one caught my eye. The rose, as it normally does, had cluster upon cluster of blooms. I decided to take a photo experimenting with soft focus. I’m pleased with the way the photograph turned out.

The Fairy is a great rose to grow, especially if you are in a cold zone because it’s hardy to zone 4. It also flowers almost continuously throughout the summer so if blooms are your thing The Fairy is your rose.

* I’m sorry to be so late posting for Green Thumb Sunday. I had a busy weekend and couldn’t post until now. I hope I didn’t miss everyone. I noticed I had an increase in comments on one of my recent posts with a photo in it. Perhaps my visitors thought that was my green thumb post.

This weeks Theme is Fake

IMG_0196

When I saw this weeks Photo Hunters theme I thought to myself “what can I photograph that represents fake”. I had no idea. Sure, I could have done some obvious things, but I like challenging myself.

Luckily, my husband and I some time on Saturday to go to Toronto’s 40th annual outdoor art exhibition. My nephew just graduated from the Ontario College of Art – specializing in photography and he had a booth at the art show where he was showing his photos.

He never even shows his immediate family, his parents, his photographs, so we figured it might be years before we’d get another chance to see his fabulous photography so we went to the show.

I had no idea it would be so large! There were 500 artists exhibiting everything from photographs to sculptures in wood, glass, clay, and stone, pottery, paintings, prints, metal artwork and many other forms of art.

I brought my new SLR camera with me and as luck would have it I found some “fake” artwork that would be perfect for the Photo hunter theme.

Now, I know I’m behind in posting my photo hunter photos (on three sites) but I think I found great items to post.

The photo above is of watering cans. Clay or pottery sculptures. They are not functional but they are lovely aren’t they?

I took a lot of great photos on Saturday, many of which will be perfect for this site – funny garden related sculptures. You’ll love them. Watch for them in upcoming posts.
