End of Summer

Today I gave the yard one last mowing, put away all of the summer furniture and toys and tools and brought out the snowblower. Hopefully I won't need that for another two months and probably not for at least one. But better to have it ready. My outdoor cellar access can get buried being almost flat. And those stairs are awfully steep.

Anyway, I guess the yard is ready. I'll probably winterize the windows next weekend. I want to keep ventilation as long as I can, but it's been pretty chilly at night lately. And my gas bill is high enough as it is.
