Time to finish what you started!

We are well into August and now that school is back in session, free time and lazy days are at a premium! Even if you don’t have children in school, you have probably noticed a bit of a shift with the amount of daylight as the days become shorter. It’s hard to believe there is only one more official “summer” holiday and then it is time to start thinking about fall and all the projects that come along with cooler weather. How many of you still have unfinished projects from summer?

August is a good month to wrap up any outstanding outdoor projects on your to-do list. Did you start cleaning out the garage but never finished and have a pile of items to donate? If so, there are many local charitable organizations who will be happy to take some of what you no longer need and may even pick-up your donations. If you have summer gear that needs to be cleaned and stored for winter, now is a good time to purchase storage containers at a discount during the back-to-school sales.

Did you intend to clean out the gutters or power wash a deck? While you are working with the hose it might also be a good time to clean your screens and windows. And, if you are dragging a ladder around the yard, you might as well check the outdoor lights and replace broken bulbs too!

If you planted a garden or have been tending flower beds, now is a good time to start cleaning up some debris to get ready for some fall plants. If you cleaned out flower beds or edged earlier in the year, it may be time for a small touch-up and some new mulch if weeds are starting to re-emerge from all the rain we’ve had.

Take some time now to complete your remaining summer outdoor projects and get ready to welcome fall because football season is just around the corner!
