    Michelle, it is but the taste is worth it. Not hard just takes time.. But you can knit while you watch the boiling process. Yeah!

    mmmm ... i can smell that sweet sweet smell of the maple syrup boiling down ... yummy! good for you ~ it looks like you got quite a batch!
    we have a few maple trees in our bush. my husband bought a few spouts and my dad gathered a bit of sap ... i was enthralled at the process, but even more taken with how much liquid it takes, as well as time, to cook down to a syrup! it was a number of years ago we tried and something i maybe will try again some day ... : )
    thanks so much for your lovely comments at the i.studio today ...
    hugs to you ~

When life is hard....

My life as of late has been up and down. My heart has been ripped out and shredded like newspaper. Dealing with our adopted teenage daughter has brought me to tears and regrets. I'm not sure how I can love someone who continues to treat me poorly. How long does a mother go on loving and hurting for a child who doesn't want the same thing? How many times can we fight and not give up. She has given up and moved out. My heart breaks...

still blooming

Hi there friends, Just wanted to post a photo of my morning glories. They were slow to start blooming and now are late bloomers. They are such a brilliant blue. I just love them. Do you have any flowers that are still blooming in your gardens?

How did I get this old?

I was editing some wedding photos today and I decided to crop this photo. Upon reflection on this photo I can't believe how old I've become. How did this happen? Years of work, play, family, and friends have made the time fly by. I feel the same as I did 25 years ago. I don't feel like I've changed. But when looking at the photo I see my physical appearance has changed. A few wrinkles and sags that didn't use to be there. A few gray hairs.... But as I look at this photo I am also seeing a woman who would not go back to those younger years. A woman who is content with who she is. No need to impress anyone except MYSELF. My husband of 26 years loves me for who I am on the inside.... Outside appearances change over the years.. I'm know the inside has changed as well. I hope my inside(heart) has changed for the better. I hope to have more patience, tolerance, love, grace, and kindness in my heart. All the attributes a Christian woman yearns for. Over the years I...
