Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on the things we're grateful for and to share that with those we love. It doesn't have to be something big or eventful. It could be the simple things. Often we go through our busy days, forgetting the simple things that brought us moments of joy. The beautiful sunrise on your way to work. The chickadee, chirping in the tree during your lunch break. That coworker or stranger that did something nice, when they didn't have to.

I'm guilty of forgetting those little things. Today is a day to reflect and share with others.

Look back at those memories and those people that have entered your lives.

May you enjoy life's bounties (big or small) and share it with others, bringing them joy and happiness. As a grateful soul is the parent of full heart.

From all of us at Fenek Farms, we wish you a happy Thanksgiving and all of life's blessings.

As we wake up to another frosty morning, starting to think about Halloween.

With our partners, we will be doing a pumpkin drive again. Instead of tossing your in the trash, we would be happy to take them for feed for our animals. All we ask is you remove any candles or foreign objects.

Painted or marker marked up pumkins are just fine.

Places they can be dropped off at.

Lumsden fire hall/ workshop. A marked trailer will be there.

Regina.
68 rink ave
98 Murphy crescent
Grant road community garden
On nov 1 we will be at the legislative building from 5 to 7 pm collecting pumkins there. There will also be a petting zoo, snacks, drinks etc etc. See advert.

Of course we will gladly taken them here. On sat and Sunday, following Halloween, we will be doing our own event with candy. Farm tour. Hay rides etc etc..

Admission will be 3 pumpkins per person. When here, you will be able to launch them using the trebuchet we are currently building.

What is a trebuchet? A is an ancient technology used to hurl rocks at castle walls. Not sure how big ours will get, but I do have a tendency of going over board.
