As we approach the middle of September, we begin the season of fall. We have some chores that we always do at this time of year to help make our house all snug and cozy for the fall.
Outside the House:
The last lawn mowing of the season is quickly approaching us. Once we decide that we are done mowing for the year, we will take the battery out for the season.
Move the rakes onto the front porch.
Move the snow shovels closer to the front of the shed.
Order a cord of wood to be delivered.
Shut off the outside water spigots, drain the hoses, and put them away for the winter.
Clean out the gutters.
Cut back the bushes under the windows one last time.
Put away the summer furniture cushions, move under cover.
Cut back the dead perennials.
Caulk the windows.
Inside the House:
Change the filters on the air handlers.
Put away the summer furniture cushions, move under cover.
Change the batteries in the smoke detector.
Get the curtains cleaned.
Put away the summer decorations.
Getting the car ready for fall/winter:
Check the fluid levels.
Get the oil changed.
Make sure all lights are working - headlights, tail lights, and turn signals.
Check the pressure in the tires.
Add a blanket and a seasonal change of clothes to the trunk.
