It's no secret this is one of the best times of the year in New England. We get the explosion of the fall colors. We start to see a big drop in the number or pesky bugs in the air. And hiking in fall is truly sublime.

When fall swings through New England we start to smell the warmth from unseen fireplaces taking off the morning chill. Our lawns magically grow a layer of fallen leaves. And we stop short on the way out the door and grab that extra layer. There are a few other things we should be doing this fall and I'd like to highlight a few of them today. Just some basic home (check it before you wreck it) maintenance items to keep you safe and warm throughout the wintery season.
