20 March

Hello Spring.

And this year, Spring greeted us with over a foot of snow......really, enough already!  At least Lucas got to try out his new snowshoes   Looking back, at this time last year, we had already had a trip to the beach for a few days in the 70s and 80 even.  Well, we're still looming in the 20s and 30s over here and I would be lying if I didn't say that I was dreaming of some warmer weather.  AS Far as our very small scale syrup making season goes.  It was too cold for much sap.  The kids were in and out of the process.   And the very fun fire that we were planning on making and sitting around all day watching the sap boil, didn't happen due to lack of time and lack of motivation to shovel out the fire pit.  So, we stuck the pot on the gas grill burner and boiled away during the kids snow day....finished indoors, filtered and made a label complete with Kindergarten handwriting.  And that, folks is all she wrote.
