Hi Friends!
Well here we are leaving summer behind, and getting ready for winter. I'm planting a third lawn on my property, removing a few grape vines (because all they do is feed the birds), just picked some veggies for supper, rebuilding a deck, need to get my pond cleaned up, stacking more fire wood, just doing a lot of clean up to be ready for rain and snow, and warm nights by the wood stove.
Yes - we live in the country and get a variety of weather - as if anything is predictable these days with climate change. So we just need to be prepared for anything.
And as always - It's a Great Time to Upgrade Your Home Electrical Systems!
Here are more great articles to help keep your home safe.
