Well first day of April, boy time sure flies by.  Today I guess I will take it easy a touch, not much sunshine to soak up, but I did get to sit outside in the sun with the old shirt off for a few hours yesterday;  toughening up the old skin for summer and soaking in some of that good Vitamin D which we all need so badly.   I should mention here that anyone can enjoy the sunshine, even if you have fair skin. There is no need to worry about burning like they tell ya. No need to put on the sunscreen and for that matter they aren’t good for you one bit.  Lots of sickness arises from using it.  There is a secret though to being able to sit out in the sun for hours on end without burning.  Well not a secret, it is fact, just no one is telling you how and what to do so you don’t burn.  If one burns out in the sun, it means you aren’t healthy.  You need to add good healthy nourishment to your body. Once you do that and your body becomes healthy, you won’t burn.    You could say your body is a good barometer on your health. If you burn your not well, simple as that and you should be fixing the problem with eating more healthy foods, like organic veggies along with meat with no preservatives and things in it. One today I would have to say has to make a life style change to fix things, if every one did that, we could do without half of our doctors.  So there you go, anyone and everyone can sit in the sun, if they so choose, it’s totally up to you.  Get your body in shape then ease out into the sunshine and see if what I just told you isn’t true,   Have a great day.

Good morning and a good morning it is.  Sun is shinning and a brand new day is upon us. What more can we ask for?  Temperatures today will be Milder with clouds and sun 47°f for a high then later on tonight it will fall to a Lo of 27°f.  Winds are from the North West and calm.  Barometer is holding steady, good sign and sitting at 29.88 in Hg.  The moon will rise at 12:53 PM and then set at 3:15 AM.

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.
