FROM THE EDITOR
And it all began to fall into place. It’s a great ending to any story, but for this month’s publication, it’s our beginning. Fall. The way it sneaks in and settles all around us is a lesson in grace and wonder. Geese overhead, a harvest moon, leaves in a spectrum of colours we’ve forgotten—and did we mention the kids go back to school?
But before you kiss summer goodbye, save it in a jar with this month’s fantastic pickle recipes: baby dills, beans, homemade mustard—even pickled cherries. But leave room for dessert: we put caramel apples on our Autumn Bucket List! This month’s magazine is also brimming with places to visit. Starting with the St. Albert Grain Elevator Park. If you’ve never been, treat yourself to a visit. It holds a rich history for our community, and we’re celebrating it in our Harvest Moon photo essay.
What was that? Someone mentioned school? Yup. It’s definitely on our lips. And to start the conversation, we’re exploring home-schooling in Alberta. So dive in, and have a read. We’re kicking off autumn in Alberta. And it’s falling perfectly into place.
Happy September.
