Ready for Ol'Man Winter?

Winter is fast approaching, are you ready?

Here are some helpful ways to get started.

For some of you with older homes, remember to cover your pipes. Caulking your windows can help too.

Stalk up on salt for those icy days ahead. Invest in a snow shovel. Make sure your batteries are charged and you have the flashlight handy.

If you are a candle collector like me, stay safe when lighting them.

Living in the northwest for years I learned that the best way to stay warm for the winter was to prepare in the fall. October is my favorite month and also my  best time to do canning, making dinners to freeze (such as soup, chili, sauces) , clean out clutter and unpack for winter. The one thing I always seemed to forget, was waiting until it snowed, before trying find gloves for the kids to wear.

Don't forget daylight savings time ends this weekend Nov 3.
