Winter is on its way! The new wheat is greening the fields, the leaves are finally beginning to turn and we experienced the first traces of frost on our windshield this week.
It's always nice to roll up the hoses and stow the sprinklers for the season. It releases me from the guilt I feel every time we water the lawn. Now we can trade our bloated water bill for a huge electrical bill. I don't anticipate that it will be as bad as last year, though, as we we've been much more proactive; installing our storm windows BEFORE the freezing weather hit.
Last year we never actually got the storm windows up! It wasn't until the first snow flew that we decided we should probably drag them out of the garage, and then we discovered that most of the plastic had split. We figured we could probably get by without them but quickly learned our lesson after being slapped by a shocking electrical bill.
I'm happy to say that our home is all buttoned up and cozy! Bring on the snow!
