For many people, Columbus Day weekend is a long weekend. For our Canadian neighbors, it's Thanksgiving weekend. So let's plan to use it well.

Fall weather is glorious! It's a great time to get outside and be active:

Work to prepare your yard for the winter.
Go apple or pumpkin picking.
Take a hike or a bike ride to enjoy the early fall leaves.
Decorate for Halloween.

If the weather where you are is bad, it's a good weekend to do some de-cluttering, to switch out winter for summer clothes, to get a start on crafting for Christmas gifts, or to catch up on those back magazines.

As for me, I'll be visiting my mom to assist with de-cluttering and then heading off to homecoming at my college. Football and a tailgate party with friends old and new. I can't wait!
