Before the Snow Starts Flying

Fall cleanup on a Colorado homestead porch

A little at a time. One area at a time. Without the last-minute scramble.

Because Fall

Has a Way of Sneaking Up on Us

Every year, fall starts out feeling like there's plenty of time.

Then one morning the temperature drops, snow shows up in the forecast, and suddenly I'm looking around the homestead thinking about the cushions that still need to be put away, the tools that need cleaning, and that hose I was definitely going to drain and roll up last weekend.

I've learned that fall cleanup is a whole lot more enjoyable when I don't wait for the weather to set my deadline.

That's why I put this guide together—to break one enormous “get everything ready for winter” job into smaller areas I can work through as I have time.

A little today. Another area this weekend. Check it off and move on.

And hopefully, when that first snow does start flying, we're inside enjoying it instead of outside trying to remember where we left the hose.

What’s Inside Your Fall Cleanup Guide?

Instead of trying to remember everything once cold weather is already knocking at the door, you'll have one place to keep track of what needs doing—and what you've already finished.

Inside you'll find simple checklists for:

• Porches, Patios, and Decks

• Cushions, Fabrics, and Outdoor Textiles

• Cleaning, Drying, and Storing

• Tools, Watering Supplies, and Homestead Extras

• A simple Fall Cleanup Caddy so your supplies are ready when you have a few minutes to tackle something

Print it, tuck it into your cleanup caddy, and start wherever makes sense for your home.

Hi, I’m Sandy

I’m a Colorado homesteadin’ grandma, animal lover, and lifelong learner.

For nearly 15 years, I’ve helped people explore natural wellness and practical ways to care for their homes and families. Around here, that often means simple ingredients, essential oils, and skills our grandparents would recognize.

I’m tackling these same chores right alongside you—probably with a scrub brush in one hand and a cup of tea waiting somewhere I’ve forgotten.

If you love practical ideas for a naturally cared-for home and a little encouragement along the way, you’ll fit right in here.

I’m glad you’re here—there’s always room for another friend at the kitchen table.
