With all of the good weather we have had lately in Minnesota this is a great time to get outside and do some yardwork.  You can go rake up your leaves and put them into a pumkin garbage bag.  You can buy these bag at your local hardware store.  It is a cheap and easy way to decorate for hallowen.  And when halloween is over you can just put them at the end of your driveway and your garbage service will take them away.

You can also clean the outsides of your windows.  You probably will not do this all winter so clean them while you can.  You can also take the screens off of your windows.  You will probably not open your windows in the winter.  This will create a cleaner sight to the outdoors in the winter time and also allow for more sunlight to enter your home.
