The Last Big Job For The Fall! Organizing The Garden, Patio and Deck!


We are fortunate here in South Carolina that we don't have to batten down the hatches when the seasons change, (except for hurricanes, that is!) but we do need some moderate cleaning up of our outside living spaces.  For example, our grill was rarely covered during the summer months, now it's time to hose that baby down and cover our BBQ, we will still use it but not as often. Check the condition of your BBQ utensils, are they a little worn? Hint, hint for your Christmas List!


Pool floats and toys need to be put away, and summer accessories stored away to make room for table top fire bowls and seasonal candles.  In fact, anything exposed to the elements should be stored in the dry space, such as the garage or a shed.  This will reduce the amount of cleaning and power washing we will have in the spring.  If you have a sheltered area on your patio you may be able to leave some items outside, and enjoy your garden year round.

Er, kids, before you go, help me with my End of Summer To Do List, please :)

Thank you kids, for your help!


My kids are leaving soon to head back to college.  In the beginning of the season we cleaned out the garage and checked over all our beach and pool equipment and toys, then never gave the garage another thought, until now.  It’s been pretty much a dumping ground for bikes and beach chairs and so what, it was summer.  While I have the extra hands to help, I want to have a quick tidy up, purge and hose down.  It won’t take long to do now, if we all chip in.  If and when we have to bring our outdoor furniture in, the garage will be clean and organized for us to do so.

....... followed by this!
This is what's for supper!
