Quiet around town, but one thing is for certain. spring and warmer temperatures aren’t to far off.  Temperatures will get up into the high fifties tomorrow with sunshine, so no excuses to not get some shinning on the old skin.  Think I got spoiled there for a bit.  Today is the last day of March, tomorrow we are into April.  I have to say March sure went by fast, here one minute and gone the next.  OK by me too.  Well had better go and make my wife and I a cup of tea. Feel happy today, more than usual for some reason.  Remember this folks. Happiness comes from with in, not from outside sources. It can be called on anytime no matter what is happening in our lives, bad or good. It’s there for the asking. Some say they get happy with money, which is a lie, some say health which is a lie, some say a good marriage, which is a lie an some say friends which is another lie.  Anyone can be happy, but it is feature that one has to find deep from within, once found though one can walk around with a smile on her or his face all day long.  Enjoy your day my friends and don’t be fooled by others, use your own inner feelings to guide you through your day.

Still quite quiet around town.  Snow is all but gone, maple syrup time is finished, leaving the white birch ready to tap. I tap a couple just to get the sap for health issues one might come upon. Nothing is better let me tell ya.  The old way was that if you drank two cups a day for as long as the sap ran you would live for another year disease free.  Sure can’t hurt a feller or gal.  On another note the Masters Golf Game is upon us next weekend and sure looking forward to it.  I don’t get into much sports but the Masters I never miss.  This year will head into see my son Karl in North Bay and watch it on his big screen.  Average April temperatures in Augusta range from highs around 80 degrees to lows around 50 degrees.  Last years winner Charl Schwartzel will be on  hand to see if he can do it again along with many others.  Until the Masters starts spring isn’t officially here, through my eyes. So get ready, pick up a few goodies, then sit back and enjoy…….The Masters 2012.

Our two new highway signs will be installed with in the next month or so, one coming in from Highway 69 and one coming in from Highway 11.  Long time coming and will finally let folks know who we are back here.  I came up with the plan, a couple years back thinking  that advertising in papers is not a bad thing, but it is a one time thing, and then ones money is gone. Two signs will advertise for our community for years and my way of looking at it is; it is money well spent. The gift that keeps on giving you might say.  Have a great day.

Warmer temperatures will stay with us for another week or so with plenty of sunshine.  Sap is running but slowed down some yesterday, with no sunshine.  Should pick up today later on when the sun makes her appearance.  I tapped twenty trees this year, not to many compared to most, but enough to fill our needs.   Just one more thing folks could do if they happen to have a few maples around their home.  Nice thing about it, the syrup is good for ya, not like white sugar and corn syrup which is deadly.   So….guess I will head on out to check my sap buckets, see if any run through the night and then get to boiling it down.  Sure nice to be out and about let me tell ya.  Have a great day my friends.
