Sugaring time . . .




Can you believe it! We were at the Dog Track and I was able to walk in the bright sun and puddles! Yes!

Our yard still has enough snow to go sliding in but Grandson, Grampa and I took a walk in the woods instead. Oh what a glorious feeling to walk in the sunshine even though it is windy and we are the only place in town with snow. That Northern Exposure is not a blessing.

Our next door neighbors have tapped the maple trees just like Ma Tante Blanche did so many years ago. It seems so right to have them tapped. The young man who lives there had never seen it before. He was pretty comical about the work his almost mother-in-law did to set up the lines and barrels. I'm impressed with how neat it is. Hope they may offer me just a taste.

Getting ready to see if the UCONN men can win another game. The women beat Providence today, as usual. The women's games are pretty boring but the men's games drive me crazy!
