Autumn & I have a love/hate relationship.
Yes, I’m talking about the season, Autumn.
Autumn brings cooler weather & everything pumpkin spice which I absolutely love. Up North where I live, Autumn also turns the leaves the most vibrant, appealing colors imaginable. With my prefer for Autumn also comes a dread. I don’t like to suppose about the fact that Autumn means that the cold, dreary winter is coming. Towards the end of Autumn is when it honestly gets tough. Turning the furnace on for the first time each year is regularly a nightmare. Last year, I turned the furnace on for the first time that season, & the home smelt like burning dust for days. I have to confess that I was pregnant last year, so maybe that’s why the aroma bothered me so badly, even though I am still dreading having to turn on the furnace again this year. Thinking back on it, not only did the home have a funny aroma for days, a smokey residue filled the air. I’m guessing it’s just the furnace burning away all the dust & cobwebs from the summer time months, but whatever it is, I don’t like it. I’m thinking about asking one of my good friends to come over & provide me some advice on how to scrub my furnace respectfully so that I can avoid the aroma in the years to come. With all that said, I’m not honestly sure whether I prefer Autumn or don’t like it. Maybe, I’ll prefer it more if I can keep my furnace from filling my home with smoke & aromaing it up each year.
