Next we plan on checking weather striping on doors, and as soon as I can I will be making new draft dodgers for the doors.<br /><br />Potatoes, onions and some squash are in the cold room, and hopefully a few other easily stored veggies will be added. <br /><br />Harvey is taking his truck in to be winterized and then it is the SUV's turn. Tires will be changed very soon.<br /><br />God bless.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051183778965359500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-50174836289851391002021-11-02T17:30:22.481-04:002021-11-02T17:30:22.481-04:00I hear that.

Shovel has been moved to a more accessible location. Ice scraper is in the door pocket. Need to add a throw to the trunk, and check batteries in my flashlights. With the time change this weekend, I'll be walking the pup in the dark, for sure!Lori Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08649542104284197181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-21108300427388311242021-11-02T11:45:02.085-04:002021-11-02T11:45:02.085-04:00Hello Cheryl, yes, winter is coming.

All great tips, Cheryl. I'd also suggest making sure you have sand, clay kitty litter or ice melt on hand for your outdoor walkways and/or driveway. Some places we've lived had winter hit right around Halloween. --EliseEM Griffithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897942424655139102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-43706978369629784942021-11-02T09:16:44.583-04:002021-11-02T09:16:44.583-04:00My goodness, I can't hardly believe you still ...My goodness, I can't hardly believe you still have a plat outside that you want to bring in. I always bring mine in when temps get to about 50 at night.<br />Too bad you can't put a 'heated rock' (electric) in your birdbath so they critters can enjoy all winter.<br /><br />I wear layers and slippers. Try to keep t-stat as low as I can.

The birdbath needs to be emptied and put away. I have an asparagus fern on the front porch so she will come into the house. My daughter and I will make a Goodwill run tomorrow to get some sweaters and warm sweatshirts and pants. It helps to have something cozy while keeping the thermostat down.
