Yesterday, it was cold, windy and damp. I decided to work inside. I have been putting off a project of building a work bench. I finished that job with a little help from my hired man. I am not sure just how much work will get done, but at least I have a flat place to pile stuff  🙂

I am not a carpenter. I can stick pieces of wood together and every now and then, am pleased with my efforts. Out of the wind and cold yesterday, I was very pleased.

A big warm up looms on the weather front. We syrup makers are a bit tense, hoping for some cold nights along the way. We will be ok for the first few days. The trees are frozen again, so all is well as they wake up. IF the warm stays around, it could mean the end of the season, but we shall see. It is early March and the trees and mother nature know what they are doing…..we are just invited along for the ride.

I will enjoy the warmth and wait patiently.
