Most people in Vermont are DONE with winter. But these crazy kids can't get enough of it! Even with a little rain, they are willing to tromp through the snow and explore the woods.
But the weather has warmed up a bit and we now have a tiny maple syrup operation to add to our homesteading responsibilities. The kids had a ball tapping the trees and checking for sap. We'll be lucky if we get enough for one pancake breakfast, but it's more about the process, right?
I got to celebrate my birthday skiing with my family and that made me so happy! I mean really skiing.... we all ride the lifts, I carry my poles, I don't have anyone between my legs and I can make tele turns. There isn't much more that this mama could ask for in that department. Having my birthday on a Saturday meant that I got lots of attention from family and friends. Most importantly, I got to go on a date to my favorite Italian restaurant with my sweetheart while our dear friends Tom and Cara watched the kids.
I can honestly say that it just keeps getting better!
