Took this just before the county cut down our 120 year old maple to widen our county road. I miss that beautiful old tree and the wonderful shade it gave the house in summer, the gorgeous color it gave in the Fall, and the gallons of sap that we collected in February and March to boil down into maple syrup. After the third winter of having our wall paper fall off the kitchen walls, we just bought maple syrup, it was cheaper than repapering!
Husband has gone to the woods to cut down some trees for next winter's wood supply and I am taking a break from following my daily task of finding something to give or throw away. So far have about 10 or 12 books piled on the kitchen table, 1 box of stale crackers to put in bird feeder cage [after I smear them with peanut butter], and 2 dead houseplants..I gotta pay more attention to my babies!
Started 2 of my Amaryillis Bulbs today and have 2 more to start in a week or two. I kept the one from last year but it has disappeared ,I thought it was in the morning room, but couldn't find it there, I just hope I remembered to bring it in from the patio last fall.
Upward and onward!
