They can be up to $200 sometimes!
At that time, I started a system of 15 minute daily yard work sessions, hoping to be a little more disciplined in getting things taken care of that were bugging me.I was also really trying not to overwhelm myself and run screaming for the (non-existent) hills..
Little things that bug me are getting taken care of and I don’t find myself putting things off until that magical time in the future when I have a whole day that I can/want to spend working outside on yard clean up..The idea behind this system is to find something, anything, to do each day for around 15 minutes on whatever project (the yard in this case).It’s about seeing how much you can get done in 15 minutes, but also how much you can get done when you develop a habit and use it 365 days a year.
So that means gardening isn’t just for Spring and Summer, it’s for taking care of a lot of the clean up in the Fall and Winter too, so that when the warm weather hits, you don’t just throw in the towel because you think you’re so far behind..I wanted to share with you some of the kinds of things I’m finding to take care of right now that make me feel a whole lot more capable when it comes to dealing with all this space we have out here.. First of all, leaves are almost always a big part of Fall clean up.
If we really had to rake all of our leaves, we’d be doomed.
I was worried about this last year, but we soon discovered that they all blow out into the fields, so we just enjoy them while they’re here..Don’t you miss being able to hang stuff up outside to dry?
I know I do, but this is the next best thing: Before you start your next load in the dryer, add in one fully dry towel to the load to help everything dry a bit faster!You’ll of course save on energy costs in the process as well.
It really works!Bonus tip: If you’re having this problem consistently, make sure you check that your dryer vent hoses have been cleaned out recently.
