Fall Weather

It is the summer’s great last heat,
It is the fall’s first chill: They meet.
–Sarah Morgan Bryan Piatt

As temperatures begin to drop, the nights get longer, and critters prepare for the long haul of winter, Hillside is here to help you stay warm and cozy.

Fall also brings pumpkin spice, sweatshirts, haystacks, festivals, and wonderful holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving. Wishing a colorful and cozy Fall to all our friends.

Fall Facts:

Fall foliage isn’t due to current weather conditions. This is a common misconception. Leaves change color because of the amount of daylight and photosynthesis.

Forget spring cleaning. I’m all about the FALL!

Fall is many people’s favorite season. The temperatures are cooler and more comfortable. The beautiful fall foliage decorates our neighborhoods. The crisp air makes breathing seem easier. That’s why its a perfect time to air out the house and clean it thoroughly.

Once winter arrives, we tend to lock up everything tight and hibernate. We’ve created a FREE fall cleaning list to prepare your house for the winter.

WHAT IS FALL CLEANING?
Fall cleaning is seasonal cleaning outside of your weekly or monthly cleaning routine.

These tasks are often forgotten. Prepare your home during the transition from warmer weather to cool temps.
