OYEN LODGE REPORT: Residents enjoy the colourful Fall Tea

By Dianne Spath

Hello, everyone! The weather has still been very nice for us to enjoy. The leaves are starting to turn beautiful colours. It’s that time of year where the flower beds, gardens and yards are getting cleaned up and ready for the next season. It’s hard to believe September went so fast. Hopefully everyone has completed their harvest.
