Winter is coming
The seasons are fast busy moving from summer to autumn, and already some of the bigger trees in the neighborhood are starting to show their autumn colors. One of these days it will be time for jerseys and jackets and hot chocolate.
And, of course, it will be time to carry the fan to the store and bring out the heater, with all the electricity consumption that will imply. To save some money this winter, check out some tips on the Going Green board at http://www.sahometalk.com/index.php, where you can learn how to insulate your home and keep your electricity bill down. And remember of course to leave your tips there for others.
One of my favorite energy saving tips is to use a foot heating pad. These are pads that work like an electric blanket, but they are just big enough to put your feet on. With these pads, the heat comes up from below, and keeps you warm from the bottom up. Because heat rises they also warm the area that you are sitting in, so you will be comfortable without having to use a heater to warm the whole room.
Out in the garden it will soon be time to add all the fallen leaves to the compost heap, prune the trees that need pruning and have a relaxing cup of coffee on the patio while you give the lawnmower a well deserved break.
Well, we’d better enjoy the winter. Ours is a short and mild winter with barely enough time to get things in order before summer will be back, so make the most of it!
