Around Town. For the last day of August it is quiet around town. Business’s are slowing down somewhat which is the sign of what is to come.  Firewood is being piled high for winter with the thoughts of winter on folks minds.  Trees like pines are dropping their needles and have been for the past few weeks.  Knowing that heavy snow will be upon them soon enough.  Plants have shed most their leaves with the dry weather we been having in hopes of saving themselves for next year.  Critters are moving slow also in hopes of gaining energy and fat to hold them through the cold days which is sure to come.  Lots happening around us humans if we choose to look.  With that heading off for my morning tea and will see what the day has in store. Never really know, start off with one thing end up with doing another.  Nice to be able to do that in itself.  Have a good day.  Inquiries:  [email protected]
