The month of October is giving us a heads-up for what's to come. this area has had a few mornings where Jack Frost has made an appearance and we've seen a few snowflakes. We know winter is coming but it still always seems to shock us. The northern part of the province up at Gillam received 27 cm of snow and I'm sure they would like to share with the rest of the province.
Our garden has been tilled and is waiting to be covered with snow. The flowerbeds are being put to bed and have a warm blanket of leaves. The roses are waiting for a harder frost before being covered with big paper containers filled with leaves to keep them safe from Old Man Winter. It is definitely soup season and I've made a variety of huge pots and canned quarts of Mexican borscht, noodle soup broth and green bean. There's nothing better than a hot bowl of soup when the cold north wind begins to blow.
School update
The Stay and Play program begins on Thursday, Oct. 9 and will continue every Thursday until the beginning of December and start up again in January.
Every fall the parent council organizes soup day for the students. Parent volunteer to make soup and serve it to the students every Wednesday. This fall the soup day begins on Oct. 15. Please note that the students should bring a reusable cup and spoon.
