Warm days and below freezing nights – that’s what you need for maple syrup production. It’s a sign of spring – a big deal in our region. Sugar shacks are crowded these days and they can make a few bucks by selling brunch to city dwellers. We ventured a little further. Off to Omega Park to feed the deer, watch the bison and admire the bears from afar that had ventured out of their winter caves. We stopped at the sugar shack and had a sweet treat – maple sugar taffy!
We have visitors this weekend and we’ll celebrate our Irish name with a little green on Sunday. How about you – any grand plans?
A few specials I wanted to share this week
- The moon rising over New Zealand – absolutely beautiful!
- Are you adding beer to your food this weekend? Check out these stout brownies from FoodieCrush, don’t they look yummy? She also dug around the web for more beer infused deliciousness. Cheers!
- Did you know that Minted also offers party decor? Personalized and in different themes. You could pull together a party in no time this way. Banners, cake toppers, signage, stickers and even paper crowns!
- I love Max Wanger’s photography – you can learn more about him and his business over at Design Sponge.
- Have you ever had Kangaroo Pie?
- I devour Kate Atkinson books and can’t wait for her new book. Watch her lovely book trailer here.
