Got a tree? Challenge One: Rake the leaves! It's good exercise (and makes the yard look good). Got gutters? Challenge Two: Get out the stepladder and get to cleaning. Got kids? Challenge Three: All those extra fall clothes need laundered. That counts as exercise, too. Keep moving for your health! It's good for you!
What? Spring is months away! Yes, and nurseries run out of spring bulbs fast! If you want to enjoy early spring bulbs in your flowerbeds, now's the time to get to the garden store. Plant and wait to enjoy in the spring!
I know I bring this up from time to time, but a gratitude list is a great way to get over November's sometimes gloomy days. Using a bound journal is a great idea, as it allows you to review the good things you can be grateful for in your days. Write down one thing each day (or more if you're having an especially good day). Look back through them when you're down and remind yourself that life can be good, and it can be good to YOU!
Pill bottles tend to be labeled on the side, but when we open our pill drawer, all we see is the top. Using tape and a Sharpie, note what's in each one, especially prescription bottles that all look the same. You'll navigate at a glance and save tons of time!
November is usually too early to prune roses way back, but you can clip especially tall branches that might be damaged in strong winds. Trim only about a third, then wait for February to take them the rest of the way down. November pruning done!
