So after a six month pause from writing at FnF I have to wonder if all of you really missed anything? Were the trappings of my mundane life followed by enough people that they were actually missed? That people actually wondered what I was doing and what was happening? Probably not…I’m realistic ...

I think for the most part that spring has finally arrived where we live. The past two weeks have heralded temperatures in the 50′s with drops into the teens at night. It’s a perfect scenario to create quick running sap from any nearby maple trees making our area syrup producers happy. Our snow h...
