Hello October!

October has surely started with a BANG this year, and I'm not referring to just the hunting.  Just a few short days ago, we saw about 30 cm of snow dumped in the area.  It was our reminder that winter really isn't that far off. (I'm sure the snowmobile enthusiasts were doing a dance of joy!) And during all of that, the unthinkable happened - we lost power for 24 hours. Some homes for almost 48 hours!  It was as if everything shut down. Though being the true northerners we are, it didn't slow us down. After it all, I saw many friends post on-line how they spent their time and share their creative cooking methods. All in all, it gave many families an unexpected opportunity to spend some time with one other and truly reflect and be grateful for what they have. Fitting for a Thanksgiving weekend wouldn't you say? Thankfully, power is restored and the snow has subsided.  Hopefully October won't have any more of that kind of excitement!  Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!
