Spring Scavenger Hunt

Pussy Willow

Every spring, since reading Miracles on Maple Hill, we have enjoyed a spring scavenger hunt. We search in the woods and at the park, looking for our favorite flowers.

I can not always remember their names, but recall more each year.

Buds
Mayapple buds
Dutchman’s Breeches
Marsh Marigold
Adder’s tongues
Bloodroot

Old Friends

Many years ago, when we just had Mark, a family invited us to their house for dinner.  We enjoyed our time and over the years, our friendship grew.

It was wonderful being able to spend a few days with Dave, Kristi, Cardin, Reece, and Casteel and just be together.

April Weather

After a lot of rain and a short thunderstorm yesterday, we woke up to snow this morning.

Maple Treats

It was a crazy year for sap, but we ended up with a lot of wonderful treats!

The first is maple sap, which is good as a drink or added to chili.  Then syrup, maple cream, candy and then maple sugar!
