Just over a week ago we were snowshoeing in the back yard, Today we had mid 50's and we dug last years crop of carrots out of the garden. Just never got to it last year. Sarah ate a good bunch of them before we got them in the house.
The sap started to run finally today. The trees (only three of them) were tapped a couple weeks ago when it seemed weather was perfect but nothing came. The sun finally came out today and they started to run. Sarah likes to run and check the buckets.

Sarah has given up taking naps 9 days out of 10. Making it tough on dad and his gout toe. Yeah thats right dad is an old man with gout and cant seem to kick it. For all you go to the doctor types...I called for an appointment and they couldn't see me till end of May.

Sarah ran up to the truck today and gave it a big kiss. "I love you Blue" She said with a big smile. Dad was so proud.

Just a quick note to keep everyone up to date. We will try to get some more fun posts up in the near future.
