Have you finished all your Thanksgiving leftovers yet?

It was a glorious weekend. As I looked up and down Second Street (Fort Frances) on Saturday and Sunday, I couldn’t help but notice how many people were taking advantage of the two days to get their yards ready for winter.
The musty smell of leaves filled the air on Saturday. The golden colours of birch, ash and maple leaves covered the ground. At the cottage, the brown pine needles from the white and red pine are now covering the ground.
As the day wore on, people began raking those leaves and filling leaf bags from their lawns.

Dear Editor,

Over the weekend I observed my girlfriend’s children expound a large amount of energy and time trying to do nothing.
