It’s finally the beginning of October again.
The leaves are finally changing on all of the trees to the point that they’re about to fall in the ground.
Pretty soon we’re not going to have leaves in the trees at all and everything is going to look dead and dwindling. It’s definitely not my favorite time of the year for that reason alone. All those leaves fall from the trees and hit the ground but that’s not the end of it. A lot of the leaves decay and cause mold that goes into the air during the autumn. It makes everything and everyone get exposed to fungal spores outside during the autumn season. I end up getting bronchitis or something similar during this time of the year on a yearly basis. But after the Autumn season is over and all of the decayed leaves have been covered by snow or ice, then I’m stuck having to use my heating system. Since it sits off for most of the year, it always smells weird when I turn it on for the first time in a while. Dust you know they’re microbial content will settle on the heat exchanger and then it needs to be burned off when the heater is turned on again. It takes several hours of running the heater non-stop for the smell to go away. Sometimes it’ll even take an entire day to get rid of the smell on the furnace. It happens with every kind of furnace I’ve ever used. It’s just a factor of having an off for a while then turning on again. You can’t really avoid the odor of the air on the heating system.
