Outside my window : cold but sunny sapping weather
Clothing myself in: jeans, sweater, mud boots and wool socks
The baby: is nursing and growing like crazy...up to 17 lbs. now! Still a honey. Rolled over last week!
The kiddos : have been able to get outside a bit. This has improved relations immensely! Since posting last time that bedtime had improved...we've reverted. Ugh! A few late nights will do it I suppose.
Around the house : we're all things maple ... books from our shelves and the libraries, boiled our 15 gallons of sap with the neighbors' this weekend. We're hoping for a quart or two of our own when its all done. I gave a 'field trip' to 17 kids (homeschooling or home from school ) and parents this morning of our small sugaring operation. It was fun and went well.
In the kitchen : HAM and the various leftovers it can be used in...I'm thinking potatoes and ham, pea soup, sandwiches ...hmmm what else?
Bring me joy: maple syrup, Easter alleluia! Visitors coming. And a big birthday surprise!
Thinking about : Living Easter joy the next 50 plus days, keeping things simple and tidied...
Pictures : Boiling sap as a family! Fun!
FYI: Posted this all from the phone ...not the neatest but not horrible to type with babe in arms.
