Fall Is In The Air- Part 3

 


The weather has started to cool, and it is now time to embrace the fall season.    Warm sweaters, hot chocolate, fire pits, pumpkin spice, and giant pots of soup remind me of fall.   


As with all changes in seasons, there are so many different experiences to enjoy.  Our new community has a lot of mature trees along the roads and walking trials to enjoy.    Fall colors and crispy air really makes you feel alive on your adventures.

In addition, our small wooded area has a lot to offer us in the area of beauty and tranquility.   The leaves are turning beautiful colors and I am soaking in the beauty that Our Rich Backyard has to offer.    It is amazing what just one week will change our tree grove.   Each morning I wake up to this beauty and am grateful.

Our woods have a stream running along the edge and it is full of mature trees and a variety of different animals.  Our tree grove has an incredible amount of yellow throughout.   I’ve enjoyed taking long walks and collecting various leaves to preserve this fall.   These leaves can be used for decorations or as a keepsake.

Over the decades, we have become reliant on the coolness of our air conditioners and have forgotten how we survived without them. It is now time to rediscover how to stay cool without our AC. Our 5 part series provides ideas on how to beat the heat this summer without the AC.     House Adjustments- Part 2 By placing house plants, such as English ivy, ficus, and spider plants, throughout your home, you can drop the overall temperature of your house by 10 degrees. In addition, house plants are air purifiers and add oxygen to your home.     For quick relief, create a personal mister to help drop the temperature of your skin: thus making you feel colder. Some people combine a spray bottle and a fan to create a cooling effect. However, I use just the spray bottle with cold water throughout the day and it keeps me cool. In addition, we use coo...

Frugal Five: #73

  The Frugal Five: #73 With inflation on the rise and salaries not increasing, our ability to make ends meet keeps going down.    Therefore, we must be more careful with our money.   The Frugal Five is a series where we celebrate the daily or weekly activities that help us live a frugal life.     1- “Potluck” lunch At work this week, we are having a potluck appetizer/dessert party for a colleague’s 60th birthday.  Everyone is expected to bring an appetizer or dessert for the party.    Since there will be a lot of food provided by everyone, I am not bringing my lunch that day and will eat from whatever people have brought.   In addition, on Friday, our social committee is providing us with a turkey lunch feast.     2- Picking up a Cheap Turkey This week at Kroger, if you spend $25.00, then you can purchase a Kroger turkey for just $0.49 per pound.  Although we do not prefer dark meat, we decided to take ...
