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

Visitors Welcome - Maine Maple Sunday 2011

Hello all, mark your calenders for Sunday March 27th, 2011 for Maine Maple Sunday. If you haven't heard about this before, its an open house for Maple Sugarhouses throughout the State of Maine. Since we now have a respectable sugarhouse we're going to invite our friends and neighbors to visit this year. Maybe next year we'll let the general public know that we're open if this year goes well.

On March 27th we should be right in the middle of sugaring season if Mother Nature allows and we'll have some free treats as well as some for sale. We'll have demonstrations on tapping maple trees, collecting the sap and or course boiling it down. We'll make it a kid friendly event, that's just the way we do it here.



Once you've looked around the sugarhouse you'll be invited to visit with the goats, and their baby kids, the sheep, hens, rabbits and maybe even some baby piglets will arrive by then (check out my last post). They look forward to seeing you.


So have faith on these cold winter days, Spring is coming, I'm sure. We hope to see you soon.
