It’s that time of year again, when we have to change our habits on the homestead. Most importantly: remember your headlamp!
Much of the year we grab our headlamps as we head out the door to go to town. Our “rule” dictates that we do so even if we intend to be back well before dark. Too often our plans change while we’re in town: friends invite us to stay for dinner, a late afternoon or evening event we’d not heard of becomes too tempting to miss, or the activities we’d planned run long. The consequence of not being prepared is a long walk home in the dark.
