If it was unseasonably cold at Halloween, then weather
lore predicts a period of unseasonably warm weather,
or Indian Summer, around St. Martin’s (Nov. 11)
until about November 20. Use the good weather for
those last-minute winter preparations. Have you had
your chimney cleaned? Your furnace air ducts and fil
ters checked? Is your wood all split, or as near to it as
you’re apt to get? If you’re left with a few, huge
unsphttables, put aside the . |
splitting wedge and
maul, and think toward
Christmas. Everyone
While we consider
when to begin, it becomes too late.
cs= Light bulbs can lose up to 40 percent of their efficiency
if covered with dust or grease, so clean them occasionally.
