DIXON — Sometimes you get what you wish for. I really wanted a long, lovely fall and here it is (or was). I am so delighted to show off the red maple and sumac in my yard along with the beautiful golds of the maples. I even have a weeping larch, which turns golden and drops its needles just like the magnificent sights the big ones produce in our mountains at this time of year. I managed to gather my apples before the bears took them, as they did last year. What a special time of year it is as all of life prepares for the long “rest” to come (mainly we retirees, I suppose).

A big event is happening on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 3, from 2-4 p.m., at the Senior Center. Our faithful supporters, workers and friends Don and Joyce Siers, will be honored at an open house as we wish them a fond good-by to their lives in Dixon, after 30 plus years. Due to health reasons, they will be moving to Columbia Falls shortly. Many friends in our area will surely miss them. Please join us in greeting this couple that have given so much of their time and energy in service to our community. Refreshments will be provided.

Meals are served at our center on Mondays at 5:30 p.m. and Thursdays at noon for only $4. Come have some delicious meals and get out with people. Thanks to those who generously share their homegrown produce with us to take home or use in meals by our cook. For the last meal of October we will enjoy chicken and stuffing, zucchini scallop, with fruit and dessert. It’s also Halloween.

Have a nice rest-of-the-autumn season. I hear we can expect a “hard” winter. I think that depends on what you want to do.
