We really have to be on our toes these days. <br />That clean-up reminds me of when we cleaned out my parents' home and also my mother-in-law's home.

It has probably impacted tourism, but that may even out. We get loads of leaf-peepers in the fall, and then of course skiers and snowmobilers in the winter.Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-67186440926451566302017-08-30T10:45:05.777-04:002017-08-30T10:45:05.777-04:00Mountain apples would be a wonderful thank-you gif...Mountain apples would be a wonderful thank-you gift!

We've had a small fire in the kitchen woodstove every morning this week, and switched to flannel sheets on our bed!<br /><br />Like you, I'm still trying to eke out summer. And by the calendar we still have another 3 weeks of it, so we're perfectly justified in doing so!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-71814615783223603582017-08-30T10:36:26.909-04:002017-08-30T10:36:26.909-04:00Thanks, Pamela!

I know what’s coming! And like you, I dread winter. Think ours are much the same as yours. Cold, long, and potentially quite snowy.<br /><br />Yes, cleaning out that house is looking like a never-ending job. And yes, it is motivating me to get rid of a lot of things I’ve saved.

Hot apple oatmeal sounds delicious - especially now that apples are being harvested here in Minnesota. Good luck with cleaning out your parents' home. I had to do that in late-2015 and early 2016. It's a lot of work...and such a bittersweet relief when it is completed.
