I LOVE the change of season, and Fall is my favorite! I can't help but think about all the projects I'm ready to take on now that the weather is cooling down.
In no particular order, here are the projects I find are best done in the fall.
1. Pull out all the cold weather outerwear and gear, clean, replace, and repair - snow will be here before I know it!
2. Plant trees, shrubs and fall flowers.
3. Replace sheer curtains with heavier drapes to minimize draftiness.
4. Buy ski passes!
5. Clean out the gutters (ahem, a job reserved for my dear husband!)
6. Steam clean carpets and upholstery.
7. Gather new craft ideas to keep the little one happy when it's too cold to go outside.
I hope I've inspired you to tackle your to-do list, too! If you need any other creative home ideas, please log on to www.homeandgardenmag.com to check out the latest how-to and inspiration articles!

Hi Susan! A few more fall chores:
Drag potted shrubs like hibiscus, fig and citrus trees from the deck back into the house BEFORE the first freeze;
Clean and store hot-weather clothes;
Make jam and applesauce from fallen fruit that would otherwise go to waste in my yard, in alleys and even sometimes on the sidewalk.
Thanks for your input! Please share more if you have a chance. Looking for SPRING chores that should be posted.
Susan
