Fall is a
favorite time of year for many people. The days are balmy and the nights are
cool. The colored leaves begin to dot the mountains, and will soon follow in
the valleys. The harvest comes to an end and gardens can be put to sleep. Fall
is a great time to sit back, take stock of the summer’s work, and feel the sense
of satisfaction that comes when the shelves are lined with newly canned goods,
or purchases made at the local case lot sale. There are still things to
harvest, so if you thought you missed the opportunity, there is time to catch
up. Bottle some apples, dry some pears, purchase a case of tomatoes or soup.
There is no time like the present! Let this fall be a time we enjoy the
harvest, but continue to prepare for the “what ifs” of life! Only you can
control the level of preparedness your family enjoys. Your choices can bring a
great peace of mind to those you love. When the storms begin to blow, you can
sleep soundly, knowing you have done all you could do to BE PREPARED.
