Let's go fly a kite...
Up to the dam, to fly a new kite.
Just look at that.
Beautiful day, beautiful sky, beautiful kite. Absolutely beautiful!
Early Spring, time to tap the maple trees.
Drilling into the Maple, to collect sap.
The children are learning how sap runs up the tree.
Everyone has to taste it to know it's true!
Delicious already.
Some even like it by the cupful!
Watching through billows of smoke for sap to boil - this will be too long to wait.
Waiting....waiting.....waiting.... there's even time to build a snowcastle.
It's remarkable how much the children and adults love congregating around a fire. There's something so alluring about the flames and the atmosphere. The kids will run off to play, return and sit for awhile, then go again. If all we did was have a fire everyday, I think they'd still be happy. So would Mr Shaw. Sitting around the fire, talking and telling stories...
Good bye Winter
As I was thinking about how to catch up on my delinquent blogging, I looked through our collection of photos for some inspiration. We still have many winter pictures that were never posted. Though each one represents warm memories of fun and beauty, I had the feeling that I was done with winter. It's over. It's time to move on. But, then I found that I was particularly drawn to this one. I like the perspective it gives. A little bit of distance from the action.
Sometimes that's just what I need - to step back out of the commotion and excitement and noise - so I can see.
