Fall colors mean fall spruce up!


It’s that time of the year again; yes the leaves are changing color and providing some of the best photography subjects of the year.

Preparing for winter to bring its cold and wind swept air. There are several projects you can do now to make the transition that much easier.  As the color leaves begin to fall from the trees and bushes, keep up with the rake or mower.  This prevents the leaves from sticking to the grass and molding.  Use the leaves as a cover for your garden plants if you have a few days left until the hard freeze.  Get the gutters cleaned out and make sure you do any gutter repair for the winter.  Now is a good time to disconnect the hose from the faucet and re attached if you need to prevent any freezing of the lines. Cut back your bushes as the leaves leave the vines.

General cleanup will cause you not to stress when the first snows or rain come to make your fall into winter.
