WINTER A season of preparation Winter isn’t a season to stop — it’s a season to prepare. In the valley, the cooler months have their own quiet beauty: misty mornings, slower gardens and the chance to notice the place we’re lucky to call home. It’s also the ideal time to tackle the jobs often put off during summer, maintain our homes and properties, make plans and get ready for the warmer months ahead. In this edition, we share practical advice, local stories and useful ideas to help make winter a season well spent.
