Dinner was ready—well, almost. On October 14th, tables for the annual Harvest Thanksgiving sale at the Anglican Church of St. Mary the Virgin in Cow Head were laden with all sorts of donated vegetables and fruits, many of which had been grown in gardens of local church members. Just looking at the new potatoes, carrots, cabbages, turnips, and zucchini whet one’s appetite. Purple plums from backyard trees, cranberries picked from area marshes, and bottled moose meat were readily available. Then there were baked treats, such as muffins and cookies, and a large cake. There were skillfully made crafts included woollen mittens and socks, and autumn artwork too; the list goes on! A big “thank you” to all who donated items and to those who bought them, for this heartfelt community gathering.
