"Winterizing" here means changing the string of little lights on the pool deck from chiles or palm trees to pumpkins or Santas.

"Winterizing" here means going to the closet for long sleeve shirt and long pants and maybe socks.

Not winterized here yet that Damn Lawn needs to be cut one more time. Rather have winter take my chances with the snow better than mowing every three days.

Sure is sad y'all. Winterizing here meaning giving a call to the cleaning company yesterday afternoon to have them come, clean, wrap and store all the Gazebo's furniture.

I just took my daughter to school and had to wear a medium to a heavy jacket. Oh well, there is always next year.

Winterizing:

- Only having to mow the lawn once a week instead of twice a week!

- break out the long sleeve cycling jersey for a day or two.

- watch the forecast and try to smoke some cheese.

38 here this morning...  But it still touches 60 during the day, so the d@mn grass keeps growing.

Farmers are out in full force bringing the crops in..

Ditto back at you...   Commuting to work, we sometimes have to dodge them at interstate speeds. (65-75+)   That'll wake you up in the morning!
