The Star Tribune had a great piece today on what you should do house and garden-wise to welcome the onset of fall and prepare for winter. I kept the story to file away under "things to do" but if you didn't already read it, do it now.
There's a great tip in there on washing windows. I'll admit that I've never washed the outsides of my windows, mainly because I dread the lovely streaks my washing is sure to leave. I might have to try the vinegar solution mentioned in the article. I use a vinegar and water solution for my hardwood floors, but I didn't know it worked well for windows. By the way, I've read mixed reviews on washing hardwoods with vinegar, but I'm going with my parent's advice and doing it anyway. If you have any window or hardwood floor cleaning tips don't hold out on me now!!!
The article also reminded me to tend to my poor yard before it gets too cold. I was doing so well keeping up with it this summer, but then when the acorns began taking over my yard I just lost interest to be perfectly honest. The damn squirrels dig holes in my flower beds anyway. I wish I could train them to pull my weeds, too! Saturday is the dreaded day to mow the lawn, throw down some grass seed, sweep out the garage and ... maybe even wash those windows.
