What to Do Around the House This Week

  1. Protect pipes and plants before Friday night: the low is forecast near 28°F. Disconnect garden hoses, cover tender plants with a sheet rather than plastic, and open sink cabinets on exterior walls.
  2. Use the dry stretch: the chance of rain stays under 30 percent on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. That is a good window for exterior painting, window washing or sealing a deck.

November Household Checklist

  • Test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms after the clock change and replace batteries.
  • Plan the holiday grocery list early and buy shelf-stable items before the rush.
  • Add weatherstripping or door sweeps to the drafts you noticed in October.

In Season at the Market

Produce that is typically in season across much of the country in November includes cranberries, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, parsnips and pears. Buying what is in season usually means better flavor and lower prices, so plan a few of this week's meals around it.
