Morgantown, WV: Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree!
Many families honor the time-held tradition of selecting a live Christmas tree. I look forward to it every year! Choosing my own tree got me thinking about the history of the Christmas tree and its origins as part of the holiday season in the United States.
We have 16th-century Christians from Germany to thank for bringing their custom of indoor decorated trees to the United States. While some decorated wood pyramids with evergreen branches and candles, it is believed that Protestant Reformer Martin Luther took things a step further. In an effort to replicate the twinkling stars of the night sky, Luther purportedly added candles to an actual evergreen tree.
While Christmas may look a bit different this year, we can still capture the beauty of the season with a decorated live tree. Join me, along with our real estate agents, in another year of observing this heartwarming tradition with a tree from one of these great sources around Morgantown.

This recipe will also encourage you to use a combination of butter and shortening, a drip of vinegar, and a little cinnamon and orange zest to refine the taste.

Home Away From Home: Investing in an RV
After the unexpected and unprecedented challenges we've faced in 2020, our real estate agents think the idea of hitting the open road sounds better than ever. With sales of recreational vehicles hitting record increases of as much as 30 percent, it's clear that people across the country feel the same way.
Dealers estimate that 50 to 80 percent of these sales are by first-time buyers. As a recent addition to the ranks of RV owners, I love how easy it is to get away safely and efficiently for camping, hiking, rock climbing, or just a much-needed break.

How to Make the Most of Fall Planting Season
If you're new to gardening, you may think in fall it's time to shut down, but in West Virginia, not so. In our humid subtropical climate, which includes the region where you may be looking at Morgantown homes for sale, fall is prime time to experiment with a whole new palette of plants. Don't stop at perennials and bulbs; you can also plant trees and shrubs, as well as cool weather food crops such as various delicious greens and cole crops such as cauliflower.
Why Plant in Fall?
On average, the first fall frost in our region will be around Oct. 16, so that means you would need to consult a planting guide, such as the Old Farmer's Almanac, which can advise you when you need to start seeds indoors; when to plant seedlings or transplants; or when you need to start seeds outdoors, based on frost dates for harvest.
