Here are some reminders to keep you on top of things: If you haven't done so already, remember to rake the leaves, weed, feed and aerate the lawn one last time before the snow comes. If your pet 'uses the yard', it is a good time to clean up after them (you'll be glad you did when the snow melts in the spring). If you have trees that overhang your roof, remember to clean out the gutters. Turn off the water to the outdoor faucets, empty your hoses, roll them up and store them properly (this will save you from needing a new one next year). If you have a humidifier clean the filter, make sure it still works. Change the filter in your furnace and make sure the heating system in your residence is working (the first cold snap is no time for a surprise). The next warm afternoon that you spend at home, open all of your windows for several hours, especially the ones in the basement if you live in a house. If you can't remember when you changed the batteries in your smoke detector, DO IT TODAY! There are also several websites that offer tips specific for preparing apartments, condos, cottages etc. for each season. A little work now can go a long way as well as offer activities that the whole family can participate in. Remember to stretch before performing any activity, yard work included. Now get out there and enjoy the rest of the season!
