Ready for Fall? It's Arriving Soon

Ready for Fall?  It's Arriving Soon

 

 

Friend ...


Maybe it's because football season has started. Maybe it's the kids being back in school. Or because the night air is cooler. But a sense of Fall has arrived here in Chicagoland ...

The Fall Season brings changes with it. Changes in temperatures. Changes to the clothing we wear. Our focus seems to shift with the coming of shorter days, falling leaves, and crisp air.


Fall can be the perfect time to do a multitude of things. You can prep your home for the upcoming winter weather ... or for Fall listing and sale. 

But whether you're moving on or staying put, Fall is a great time to declutter and organize your home inside and out ... and your finances too.

I've googled like crazy to find interesting articles filled with Fall info, ideas, tips, and photos. Articles that will help you usher the Fall Season in at your house. I hope you enjoy reading the articles offered below and that they inspire you to make any needed changes.

Remember that I remain at your disposal to answer any questions or address any concerns you have regarding your Mortgage, credit, and finances. Don't hesitate to contact me at any time.

The older I get the less excited about fall I get.  It's still in the 80s, but fall is in the air.  I can feel it, in my joints.

You sound much like my wife, Tammy Lankford, ... the aches and pains are an indication of a changing season ...


Hope you're not too uncomfortable ...

Hi Gene

Great piece, with some terrific reading, although I am not looking forward to fall - seems like summer just disappeared! And it's getting dark earlier, and DST will be ending, and...

Yes. Yes. Yes.  I AM READY ... Bring Fall On.  

Fall is my favorite time of year.  Of course, Fall weather in CA is known to have temps in the 80's.

80's???  Weather and temps can be almost anything .. from one extreme to another here in Chicagoland, Kathleen Daniels.  Don't blink!  It could change ...


Enjoy your Fall ..

Fall is my favorite season and I love the days still warm, but with the crisp in the air.  Our trees are changing, and have been for the past two weeks.  Seems a tad early, but I'll take it!

Gene today was the first day so far this year that felt like Fall might be here.

It's easy to fall into bad habits. Fall is the perfect time for people to review your tips and take action.

We all need a little "readjustment" now and then, Patricia Feager ... agree that Fall is a great time to do that.  Enjoy!

Oh, I love this time of the year - fall & spring!  But, in the fall, football and decluttering in a cooler garage/attic are what we look forward to each year!  So, after the game tomorrow (GO PANTHERS!), I'll be cleaning out my garage!

Sep 17, 2016 03:21 PM
Gene Mundt, IL/WI Mortgage Originator - FHA/VA/Conv/Jumbo/Portfolio/Refi

I'm so sorry, Debe Maxwell ... I just now found this comment.  My apologies for being so late in responding to it ...


But perhaps the message is the cause?  Cleaning a garage???  My wife would tell you I was avoiding any suggestion that mine needs to be attended to ... subliminal avoidance?????

I think our fall will be short lived as we are expecting snow in the high country this weekend. I do love the fall season and the changing of the leaves.

Not sure where I was hiding when your comment appeared, Debbie Laity ... but apologizing for my late reply!  I love the Fall colors changes too ... but my bones don't like the cold weather like they used to ...
