Day Begins

"As the leaves blow in the cool fall air, I am reminded that winter will soon be here. The hay is stored in the barn, the firewood in the shed, and meat and produce preserved, I feel secure. My family sleeps as I kindle a fire in the cookstove. The kitchen warms. Fresh eggs and milk, bacon for breakfast. I am a father, husband, farmer, hunter and provider. Another day has begun." RW

What it's all about

Fourteen hours boiling today in the sugarhouse. The good sap runs of Friday and Saturday require a certain amount of commitment to boil the water away to make our sweet maple syrup. We had some good friends over to enjoy some pancakes and bacon with fresh hot syrup. We were glad to be able to share this fine evening with Mike on his last week here before going to the Afgan war to protect our freedom. He will do us proud I'm sure. God Bless.
