How to clear window fog and hang photos neatly
Fog forms when indoor moist air meets cold window glass causing condensation on the inside. Ways to reduce it include insulating glass and proper weather sealing for wood windows, plus managing moisture. For photo displays, arrange frames in a straight grid, align bottoms, and use vertical tape strips to separate groups. Consider adding memorabilia to personalize the corridor wall.

Late fall garden tasks from Horticultural Hints
Late fall is busy for home gardeners with winterizing steps. Cut cool season grasses to 1½ inches, keep each blade upright, remove trash from plant crowns to deter rodents, and wrap tree trunks with protective material. Give plants a good soak before freeze, apply winter mulch to fruit beds and perennials, and protect roses by trenching soil around the crown. Remove top growth on peonies and perennials, and repair outdoor equipment before snow.
