Leaves turning and falling signal important tasks for your home and garden. Make sure your spaces are ready for a long winter's nap. It's easy to do with these simple homekeeping reminders.
If you like cozy beds, change from light cotton sheets to all-cotton flannel and swap your lightweight bedspread to a heavier duvet.
Cleaning up and preparing your garden for a freeze will promote its health in the spring.
Separating these plants before they flower allows them to devote more energy to putting down roots. Do so before the first ground freeze.
Plant spring-blooming bulbs in well-drained soil -- they'll need 12 to 16 weeks of temperatures that are 45 degrees or colder.
Check on your liquor supply and pay a visit to your local wine merchant for seasonal suggestions to pair with your favorite fall foods.
Your guest rooms should be not only clean, but inviting too. Set out flowers or other special touches to make guests feel extra welcome.
