Pumpkin season

We are officially into the fall season in North America! I took this photo of the pumpkin display at a Home Depot on the weekend.  

Fall is almost here

Apparently the first day of Fall 2015 is September 23rd. The grocery store already has lots of the symbolic pumpkins for sale:

Large Pumpkins

I met my friend S for a walk and we went for coffee. The weather had cooled down and you needed a sweater but there was lots of sunshine. S had to run off to get a haircut but then I met another friend so I sat with her and chatted for awhile. It was a pleasant morning I would say.  On my way home I noticed this pear tree, can you see the pear?

Flu Shots

These pumpkins were on display outside a grocery store.

Husband M, son K and I went looking to get our flu shots last week. The walk-in clinic had run out, but said they would be getting some more in this week. Most places aren't getting the flu shots in until closer to the end of the month. Do you get the flu shot every year?

Daughter L encouraged us to watch the movie 'The Book Thief' and we loved it.  To quote wikipedia, 
'the film is about a young girl living with her adoptive German family during the Nazi era. Taught to read by her kind-hearted foster father, the girl begins "borrowing" books and sharing them with the Jewish refugee being sheltered by her foster parents in their home.'
