Well, I haven't done much to get ready for fall ... or should I say winter by now as it is slowly but surely creeping in and I ... HATE it

Don't really fancy walk to bus stop in knee deep snow, 7AM, pitch black morning temperature being something from 0C to -27C ... My bus will come in time, but even with 5 mins wait and my a** is totally frozen

So you guys who can have it nice, fairly warm and lovely, ENJOY as this is my frozen Hell till the end of March ...

... NOT!

sometimes we barely have a fall. it goes from triple digit to 25 or less. this year i have been in denial of winter mostly and actually this has been a relly nice fall not too cold yet but my preperation to get ready is securing everything down then the two tress that hang over my place become a full time job just cleaning up the mess they leave.right now we are tightening things up by caulking any little possibility of cold air leaks. bust out the flannel sheets and down comforters. and of course begrudgingly pull out the long pants sweaters and coats. i cant wait till summer comes back around so i can go float on the lake. happy holidays everyone!

Living in California, all that I really have to do is check/light the pilot light for the furnace and flip the thermostat from cool to heat.

Already starting to wear extra layers inside the house for warmth and will be hunting down more blankets for the beds today! Trying to remember where we stored that space heater last spring... Thanks for the contest!

I swept the leaves off of my balcony (last year it was a drag clearing the snow away with them there). I get out the winter clothes and put away summer.....still getting used to having a place of my own.

One thing I never get used to is how much darker it is!

I had to stock up on light bulbs.

You know, I thought I posted to this and got really annoyed when I didn't see it..then I realized I was probably looking at the preview as I edited and never clicked submit. D'oh! Anyhoo...normally, there would be firewood to be stacked for winter, but since we're still in the lovely townhouse, we don't have to do much..Put the summer clothes away, and that's about it. But I love fall; I love the crisp air, and especially the seasonal coffees and fall scented candles and scented oils and all. It's my favorite season, and I was really annoyed to have snow come in October and muck it up!
