It is  hard to believe that  2014 is going so fast.   AS THE SEASONS CHANGE………FALL FUN is about to begin. It is one of our family’s favorite times of the year.   We are lucky enough to live in a part of the country where the  seasons change and we get to see the real beauty of what God has created around us.

The grandchildren are very busy with their fall sports; football, volleyball,  basketball, and soccer.  Fall baking has been in full swing  in my kitchen.   The men are getting ready for hunting season.    There are the Halloween parties, campfires, and trips to the local pumpkin patches and farms.

Grandpa Bob likes to get into the seasonal fun too.

Working hard gathering just the right things to decorate with at Butchers Family Farm.

He always decorates the front of our house by himself.

However, along with the fun activities comes the overwhelming chores that must be done first.  The fall cleaning list is just as long as the spring cleaning list!  The jobs are more than just cleaning up from summer, you are starting to prepare for winter.

 INSIDE PROJECTS:  cobwebs, clean walls & woodwork, light fixtures & ceiling fans, organize closets & drawers, windows, fireplaces, freezers & refrigerators, kitchen cabinets, clean grout on tile floors, organize shelves in pantry, pack away summer décor and decorate with fall.

OUTSIDE PROJECTS: clean out landscaping, blow leaves, clean porches & decks, pack away summer furniture, and   decorate for fall.

OTHER PROJECTS: These are the ones my husband and I do together, such as cleaning the gutters and downspouts, trimming tree branches, clean and winterize the RV, clean filters in furnaces, obtain firewood and any other projects he comes up with.
