Is your home all winterized and ready for some nasty winter weather over the months to come?  The experts have been saying we may be in for some severer winter weather this year and we’ve been busy getting our ducks in a row here.  First we raked all our autumn leaves, bagged them and put them out for composte pick up.  Actually we had a blast brazing through the piles of leaves while Mama and Papa tried to rake them!  Then we drove the markers in the driveway (actually Papa did it) so the snowblower will know exactly where to navigate around the yard.  Then Mama had our furnace fine tuned and filters changed so we’d get maximum performace out of it this winter and we had our fireplaces cleaned and checked as well as all our windows washed.  When you live in the northern hemisphere you just can’t be too careful when preparing your property for the snowy weather.  Now Mama says we’re getting the outside ready for Christmas this weekend.  It’s a huge job with a dozen24″ planters to fill with greens and decorations as well as the window box on the shed plus the hanging baskets.  Then it’s on to the big task!!!  Mama’s humungous  6 foot wreath at the front entrance needs to be converted to winter and what a job that is.  Up and down the ladder many times with Mama and Papa doing the big conversion.  They work together well and have it down to a science now but it still takes about two days before it’s tweaked to perfection!  They have been waiting for some milder weather to get at it (need big coats like the Budster) and it’s sounding good for this weekend.  I’ll keep you posted and show you some pictures when it’s finished.
