Fall is fast approaching

It seems like we just summerized, but now it's time to get ready for a colorful autumn. It's my favorite time of year.

Fall isn't just colorful leaves, it's also time for "Boo"tiful items in your home & yard. Before you know it, it will be time to dress the turkey. While you're at it, dress up your home. Inside & out.

Why not try composting? It's fairly simple. Put all your veggie & fruit trimmings (stems, leaves, cores, etc) in a pail & take them out to a corner of your garden. Just mulch them into your garden & watch it grow.

Here's a quick & easy checklist.

1) Prepare for Halloween

2) Save your raked leaves & place them in lawn bags & decorate as pumpkins or jack-o- lanterns.

3) Decorate pumpkins as ghosts, goblins, witches or turkeys. Yes, I said turkeys.

4) Thanksgiving gives you a chance to show how thankful you are for your blessings & loved ones. Be creative in you decorations. Express yourself & have fun with it.

5) Relax. Don't stress yourself out. Always remember that stressed spelled backwards is desserts. Treat yourself. That's what diets are for....later.
