Organizing Tips for Fall

Cooler weather in most parts of the country is a welcome change for most of us.  As nice as summer weather can be, change is good and the fall colors on the deciduous trees makes this time of the year even more enjoyable.  Fall is also a good time to organize certain parts of your home.

Now is the time to assess your wardrobe and purge cool weather clothing that no longer is useful to you.  Styles change, clothing may be in disrepair or your may have changed sizes over the summer.  Whatever the reason, if parts of your wardrobe will not be used in the future, remove them and pass them on to a more useful purpose.  If they are in good shape, they can be sold, donated or passed on to someone that would enjoy them.  If they are in disrepair and cannot be fixed, perhaps an animal shelter coud use them as bedding.

Outdoor equipment for entertaining and yard and garden tools should be cleaned and prepared for storage.  Keep those rakes handy for raking leaves if you are one of those who have been blessed with shade trees but clean them after their final use.  Finding a suitable space for outdoor items during the colder months can be difficult but new products have been introduced that will protect them from the elements.  Check with your local garden supply or home improvement stores to see what is available in your area.
