Fall surely did come with a bang now, letting us know that the next season is just around the corner. It tried to give us some snow over this past weekend; thank goodness it wasn’t too successful and we only received some flurries, which never had a chance to accumulate into a white blanket. The wind was definitely on the cold side, what few flowers that had survived the first frost are now done.
Remember folks to please make sure that you cast your ballot for whomever you wish in the elections that are coming up very soon – both the municipal and the provincial elections are on this fall.
Also it’s now the flu season so one should remember to get your flu shot.
