SAM HATFIELD
REALTY…ON THE MOVE!
Sam Hatfield Realty has moved to a
new location – 4470 Mansford Road. Strategically located
between Tims Ford State Park and Tims Ford Marina, our new
office boasts our logo colors of yellow and green! The
increased visibility will allow our company to continue to grow
as the premiere Tims Ford Lake realty company in the area.
The relaxed atmosphere of the new office welcomes
clients to come in, chat, and visit. Properties can be
viewed on the “Big Screen”, in the comfort and ambience of a
lake cabin. Sam invites all customers and friends to stop
by and “rock” on the front porch or “swing” on the back porch.
The surroundings of nature are abundant on the property.

October:
Flower bulbs
for fall planting have arrived. Make sure to follow the
planting instructions that are specific for each bulb
variety. Planting crocus too deep or daffodils too shallow
will cause their spring blooms to be less effective or
non-existent.
Remove any
dying, diseased or insect ridden plants from the flower
garden as soon as possible. Burn them or place them in the
trash. If you leave them in the garden or turn them under,
your problems will be twice as bad next season.
Dig up your
Canna, Dahlia and Glad bulbs after the first frost. Leave a
little soil clinging to each. Store the bulbs in a cool, dry
place packed in peat moss. Make sure to label the bulbs now,
instead of relying on your memory.
If slugs were
a problem this season, apply slug killer now. Slugs will be
laying their eggs now for next season. Eliminate them before
they lay their eggs, so next seasons population will be
drastically reduced.
Spray your
fruit trees now with deer repellant. These sprays are well
worth the effort as a deer can strip several years of growth
from a tree in a single night. You only need to spray the
tips since deer are browsers.
Red Cross
Halloween Safety Tips for Kids and Adults
With witches,
goblins, and superheroes descending on neighborhoods across
America, the American Red Cross offers parents some safety
tips to help prepare their children for a safe and enjoyable
trick-or-treat holiday. Halloween should be filled with
surprise and enjoyment. Following some common sense
practices can keep events safer and more fun.
- Walk, slither, and sneak on
sidewalks, not in the street.
- Look both ways before
crossing the street to check for cars, trucks,
and low-flying brooms.
- Cross the street only at
corners.
- Don't hide or cross the
street between parked cars.
- Wear light-colored or
reflective-type clothing so you are more
visible. (And remember to put
reflective tape on bikes, skateboards, and
brooms, too!)
- Plan your route and share it
with your family. If possible have an adult go
with you.
- Carry a flashlight to light
your way.
- Keep away from open fires
and candles. (Costumes can be extremely
flammable).
- Visit homes that have the
porch light on.
- Accept your treats at the
door and never go into a strangers house.
- Use face paint rather than
masks or things that will cover your eyes.
- Be cautious of animals and
strangers.
- Have a grown up inspect your
treats before eating. And don't eat candy if the
package is already opened. Small, hard pieces of
candy are a choking hazard for young children.
