To Do List for Winter
Today is the first day of winter. Time to change some habits. Here’s a helpful list.
- Check and turn on your heater & be sure your outside animals have warmth and protection from the cold.
- Dig out heavy coats and sweaters for your family & set aside those in good condition that no longer fit or you don’t use and drop them off at a charity or shelter for the homeless.
- Buy more groceries at one time so you don’t need to go out into the cold so often & donate some non-perishable food items to a local food bank to help hungry families.
- Cook heartier meals for your family & dedicate some hours to a soup kitchen to help feed the hungry.
- Lay in a supply of board games to play with your kids when it’s too cold to go out to play & call to chat with someone who is alone and not able to go out even when it’s warm.
This winter, think of both your immediate and your extended family.
Tip: Clean Up from Winter
As you clean up your yard from the winter, set aside a spot and start a compost pile. If you prefer, there are many easy-to-use composting containers available on the market (no worms required). Ask at your local garden store. If composting isn’t to your liking, at least make sure to recycle all those yard clippings and debris in the weekly curbside pickup.
