Here in western Washington we're just around the corner from Fall. This 3-day weekend we will have a high temperature in the low 60ies, rain and it will be somewhat windy.

This time of year I always stock up on things so that if the weather turns bad, I don't have to go out in it unless I want to.

So far I have stored cans of tomato sauce, cream of mushroom soup, tomato soup, boxes of dry onion soup mix, bags of spaghetti, bags of other pasta, a big box of rice, several cans of chicken breast, several cans of corned beef hash, 5-pound frozen bags of peas, broccoli, green beans, stir fry veggies, big bag of frozen bean and cheese burritos, frozen 1-lb. packages of hamburger, a big bag of white sugar, a big bag of brown sugar, a big bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips, a big bag of pecans, several bags of chili mix, a big bag of dry dog food for the doggie boys, several sizes of batteries, candles, a big supply of paper towels and t. p. and on and on.

Do any of you stock up for this time of year? If so, what do you stock up on that I haven't thought of?

I always feel great this time of year if I have all my extra food and supplies stored away. I can't hardly wait for Fall. It's my favorite time of year.
