Archive for August, 2010

It is hard to believe that the end of August is here. Yesterday the news announced that a record for the hottest summer was set in the Northeast! I know I have enjoyed this warm weather and I hope that you have been enjoying it too.
As everyone knows who lives in this area, the seasons do change and the long warm summer days become shorter and the days become cooler. The air turns crisp and the green leaves begin to change into beautiful hues of orange, yellow and red. Vermont is truly the place to be when fall sets in! But what happens to your home and your lawn when these cooler temperatures start to settle and take hold for the winter? Every home owner should prepare their lawn and their home to withstand the winter cold and to spring back when the snow melts away. Fall is the best time to take action. Below is an article I found that can help you take the steps needed this fall to protect your home and lawn from the winter cold.
