By now you should know what you have and what you still need as you play squirrel and prepare for winter. I'll link Direct Weather's updated video below so you have an idea of how your winter may shape out.

Another category to consider is our pets. Just like us, they want all the comforts during hard times. If you take them to the vet, now is the perfect time for a check-up, teeth cleaning and a pedicure. From there, it's off to where ever you shop for their food, treats and litter (where applicable, of course) For some pets, you might want to dehydrate fruit so they can have their favorite snack right along with you. 

If you are a bird lover, inside or out, make sure you have plenty of seed, nuts & dried fruit on hand for them. Winters can be especially hard on the outside ones. We keep big metal trash cans on the back deck full of wild bird seed as well as a smaller one for fruit & nut mix. I hope to dehydrate more of the fruits just for them next year.

Speaking of 'next year', here's a video from Direct Weather about the potential winter we could face in the 2025 - 2026 winter season:

That's it for Pantry Preparedness Month. Now's the time to make a pass through to make sure you're preapred. In the mean time...

Be safe, Be prepared, Be Blessed!
