Happy March! 


Signs of spring are popping up everywhere these days. I love seeing new growth on the plants in my yard and around town. This is an excellent time of year to freshen things up inside and out of our homes. Our local Master Gardeners host their annual Plant Sale if you want to brighten up your landscaping with new things.


New activity is popping up in the real estate world, too! It's a perfect time to jump in with a new listing, buy a home that better meets your needs, or look for a lot to build your dream home. So please reach out to me with all of your real estate needs. I am here to help make your buying or selling experience fulfilling and smooth.


March is also a month when activities abound in the Rockport-Fulton area. You will want to attend the Fulton Oyster Fest and the Spring Art Fair by the Bay. Crawfish lovers, check out the Annual Crawfish Cook-off and Tasting. Murder on the Orient Express will be on the Rockport Little Theater playbill near the month's end. Have a school-age child looking for Spring Break fun? Look into the Texas Maritime Museum's Spring Break Camp. Close the month out with the Taste of Rockport, sponsored by the Rockport Rotary club. Check out the link below to the Chamber of Commerce's complete listing of events.


And as usual, the best place in town to see the bluebonnets and wildflowers blooming... the old cemetery by Little Bay area! Be respectful when walking around and enjoy it!


I wish you a spring full of new fun and excitement!
