Fall is a great time to winterize summer tools. Even that lawnmower! If you remove a bolt that's rusty, drop it in vinegar for a day. Scrub and rinse, then into a bowl of oil before reattaching it. Good as new!

Big projects can overwhelm us. Break them into smaller tasks. Don't "do" the fridge, just the meat tray. Dust the house? The living room is enough for one day. See? Easier already! Do this regularly, and you'll keep on top of it all!
Gardening is good for muscle strengthening. So is weight-lifting and climbing stairs, but in early fall, being in the outdoors is much more appealing! Garden spades to the ready! Go!
Have you started your fall carpool yet? It's fun for kiddos to be dropped off by Mom or Dad the first month of school, but it's nice not to be on the hook every day. Who do you see arriving with their kids when you drop your kiddos off? If they live near you, that's your newest carpool friend!
It might be summer's end, but September in the South can still be hot and sticky. Start early, talk afternoon breaks, and carry plenty of liquids. Happy adventures!
