Arrived safe at THO. It was only minus 1 degree celsius in the house. I started the heater and emptied the car while Hj shovelled up near the doorway and the gate. I am grateful to my cousin Kenny who keeps me ploughed out. I have been able to drive right up to the house so far any time I have come and today was no exception. The snow banks are about half the size of the house… which isn’t saying too much… tee hee…
As soon as these few little tasks were accomplished, we tapped the maple trees. They are dripping now into the buckets. All feels right in the world!
Maple syrup? That is the best!
YOU HAVE A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN THERE EVEN IN WINTERTIME. !
Thanks Shirley.
I agree. I am very fortunate.
I hope all is well with you.

I’m happy for you that you were able to start tapping your maples.
Thanks Lois. We got 3 litres of syrup and then corked the trees. It was an interesting project… tasty too.
I’m sure it was very fulfilling to tap your own syrup.
