Autumn really did attack overnight this year. I'm appreciating it, as hot, sticky weather with no rain was getting *really* old, but with no adjustment period weather I'd normally find delightful is kind of chilly.
No firewood to chop (maybe someday I will live somewhere with a functional fireplace again), but sealing the windows will start surprisingly soon.
I'm only a state and a half away from you, and they're small east-coast states. ;)
Yeah, window-sealing is a huge pain. I wind up doing it in bits and pieces because there keep being days when I want the windows open even as there are nights when I want to stop up all the drafts. And then it takes me just as long to get them all unsealed in the spring.
About 1/3 of our windows we just don't open - the big, too-cheap picture windows in the front of the house, the tiny window up in the upstairs - and then a couple we just "seal" on the window sash and thus can still open them without sealing them.
But that leaves fixing what the cats ruined and then the big windows.

Oh, crap, window sealing. We have to do the thing soon, too.
