Bring it on Ole Man Winter!

I don't know what got into us but I feel we are actually prepared for the snow to fly this year. All of our leaves are officially done. We finished the season with approximately 150 leaf bags filled. On the last day this week of raking, I finally went out and splurged on a big green funnel to use with the bags. Should have bought it weeks ago. This year we even cleared out under the wooded area in the back of our yard. Usually we are frantically blowing leaves into this area hours before the first snow. The deck is clear and the outdoor furniture is in the basement. The driveway stakes are in and ready for the plow. And today, the piece de resistance was the gutter guys showed up to clean the gutters. Ever since we replaced our gutters over a year ago, we decided this was something we couldn't let slide. No more worries about ice dams, clogged gutters, water flowing back through the garage wall. We're ready. Bring it on!
