Sugar season has already started here in NH.
But wait! There’s still March to get through.
Beau has four of our house yard Maples tapped and some Box Elder trees tapped in the woods; he’s getting a good run here, too.
For those that don’t know, to collect sap, the temps need to be below freezing at night and above freezing during the day. He’ll get a good run again this week.
We’re in this funky weather pattern of ‘Snow on Thursday’ and this upcoming week may be a mess. 12”+ of snow predicted, but they don’t have it narrowed down yet as to where it’s going to hit. Makes a lot of work and expense for everyone.
Yesterday I went to town to meet my BFFs for lunch and a movie. I made the mistake of turning onto Rock Road, which is a 45 degree angle of a road! Force of habit; I always go that way! Anyhow, I got half way up, then the truck just stopped! Luckily I remembered I now have 4WD (first ever!) and I kicked that in, and she took me up that hill like a champ.
So, I accidentally ‘learnt’ something yesterday!
FWIW, I’ve been driving in Wisconsin Winters for ONLY 46 YEARS now, LOL!
