Hello
October…and goodbye summer. This is the month of no more hot days, when frosty
nights appear, and leaves put on their best show. Fall is a season loved by
many. The harvest is over or wrapping up, and the fruits of our labors are on
show with pantry shelves full and gardens being put to bed for winter. It is a
great time to take stock of where your family stands with provident living. If all
is safely gathered in, we can truly let the winter storms begin. Are your
shelves full? Is there a 72 hour kit close at hand? Can you care for your
family and keep them happy and healthy “come what may?” As the shadows of daylight slip into longer
nights with cozy fires, let us be sure that we can sit at the fireside with a
warm meal and a peaceful heart, knowing we are prepared. That peace and
satisfaction is one of the greatest gifts of the harvest.
