There’s a biting morning chill in the air and even though most of our days are filled with sun we can feel the change in season.  In Kalispell the street cleaning to pick up fallen leaves has already begun, which is fortunate because my trees decided winter began last weekend. If you haven’t started already you might want to think about winterizing your home.

At my house we’re pulling out the mower and weedeater for one last cutting, pruning the raspberries and other plants, changing our heating filters and cleaning out our garage to make room for the barbeque and other summer gear.

I’ve been living in an apartment for the last few years, so I didn’t exactly know all the steps to winterizing my home. Below is a list of resources I used to get up-to-date on how to winterize your home and yard.
