    Just finished painting the house for Fall. Cleaned the gutters, put the garden to bed and emptied out rain barrels to put away. Doing last minute yard chores and shed organization of all planting material for spring planting. Car was just done at beg of Oct, will be adding warm gear to it this weekend, all being washed now. Going thru our battery supply tomorrow for grid down issues and then heading to the store for the heavy items that I do not want to carry in the snow. (Bottled water, large bags of dog food, etc.) 3 cords of wood put up just in case, nobody wants to be cold. Snow blower and generator are ready to go, along with the gas stored up safely.

    Buttoning up everything outside. Storing my hoses and automatic timers and sensors. Pruning back my pepper plants and replanting them in containers and put indoors. Pruning back lots of plants and hedges. Bringing more wood indoors for our nice cozy fireplace insert. Cutting back my strawberry plants and covering them with mulch bags. Cleaning out much of my garden to add grass and leaves from my lawnmower to shovel in the dirt for fertilizer. Seems like this is a never ending prep for winter, tomorrow I have another goal of pruning, getting close, just have to laugh. Good luck with your preps, thank you for all you do Jonathan and Kylene. Happy trails!

    Well, kids...I got nuttin on this one. 😆😆My watermelons and tomatoes are loving this weather. It's been in the mid to high 80's during the day, and 60's at night. This has actually gave me a little joy, seeing them growing, right along side of the cabbages. I got my potato seeds in today. I usually plant the 1 day of January. But, if we are going to be on the warm side this winter, I may give just plant them at the end of Nov. That will be a wonderful new years blessing. GOOD news, the trees are getting removed from my greenhouse on Friday. So, I can get started on those repairs. The house, ummm, no change. We still don't know when those repairs will begin. But, I could have a new kitchen for Thanksgiving...maybe?!? 😊😊

    We are prone to power outages. Part of my winter checklist is checking on the supply of propane, butane, emergency food, first-aid supplies, and medications, checking autos and have emergency supplies in and ready to go, snow chains are checked and ready, emergency lighting, supplies for my pets, checking with my snow plow guy to make sure I am still on his list, checking emergency water supply, checking on my solar generator and solar chargers for phones, snow shovels are checked and ready, etc.

We kept saving the little tomato plants that came up in the garden so we ended up with a ton of tomatoes. I have been trying to give them away but have only had a little luck on that.

    Well, I don’t have much on this one because I’m in sunny warm Florida. I do have an electric blanket and a wool blanket and a down comforter for those 3 days of winter that we get. I also own two sweaters, one for the car and one for the house. And believe it or not I do own a winter coat, just in case. My autoimmune disease doesn’t like temperatures below 70, but I’m happy to live in a place where that’s not a real problem. Hurricanes, yes, they’re a problem and people here will be recovering from back to back Helene and Milton for a very long time. I am so thankful to have only minor damage and I can still live in my house while repairs are made. So many others here are much less fortunate. I’ve just restocked food and water preps now that the stores are getting supplies again. I’ve also added a few extras in the event of civil unrest in the next few weeks, so that I won’t have to leave home for quite a while if needed. Crossing my fingers we won’t have a problem. And I sure hope you all have an uneventful winter.

      Many years ago I moved from New England to Georgia where I could get by most winter days with a hooded sweatshirt and a jean jacket. I could always tell folks from Florida by their big, heavy parkas. To them, 40 degrees must have felt like 10 or 15. No laughing, just marveling at how we get used to our environments.
      I'm back in New England, watching my kids wander around the house in shorts when it's 65 or less inside when there's snow on the ground and I'm all bundled up. Please remind me why I live where the air hurts my face. 🥶

    Waiting for winter to arrive here in Florida. The fall was brutal with 2 hurricanes. A lot of people here are exhausted. My daughter and her family were without power for 14 days, and no water for 23 days (a fallen tree not only took out the power line, but the uprooted tree also took out the water main). It is still too hot and muggy to open windows. 90% humidity even at just 80 degrees sucks big time. Please send some cooler weather this way. The people in NC simply did not understand what was coming their way, and FEMA's response was totally pathetic at best. I think politics was at play.
