But she was so supportive of me! Maybe it's something you, too, can do with your daughter, when she's older. <br /><br />Hope the winds die down without causing any damage, Jules. Hope you have a lovely Sunday.

What a great experience to have together.<br />It's been quite windy here overnight. I'm not sure what the day will bring. I don't like windy weather.

In fact, I was going to, but I was trying to make something to eat when I knocked the glass and I decided the sweeping was enough for the time being as I was wanting to eat, and later, vacuumed. By that time, I had forgotten about the damp towel. Which is a good thing, actually, because, otherwise, it would have led to me wanting to mop the floor (which desperately needs mopping, but I am ignoring for now!)<br /><br />Birch syrup! That sounds so exotic, to me! Glad to hear you are having some warm weather. Sounds like spring is making its way there, finally!<br /><br />I hope you have a lovely day, tomorrow, Bushlady. Take care.<br /><br /> Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-34118880220125338042017-04-29T18:21:09.566-07:002017-04-29T18:21:09.566-07:00How nice to reminisce while watching music videos....How nice to reminisce while watching music videos. Sometimes we need to take the time to relax like that and I'm sure that you slept better for it, and also caught up by sleeping in.<br /><br />Regarding the broken glass, I often use a damp paper towel after picking up the larger shards. The damp paper picks up the tiny pieces that are barely visible. Of course the vacuum does this, too.<br /><br />Our weather has also been windy and quite warm, and I have been puttering in the yard for a short time over the last 3 days. I cleaned up the path in front of the house on Thursday, pruned some blueberry plants on Friday and today I did a fair bit of raking. DH is now evaporating birch sap, which smells quite different from boiling maple sap. It takes twice as long to produce a syrup, because the boil down ratio is 80 to 1 instead of 40 to 1. Also, it must only be simmered, any real boiling would ruin the flavour! So a log or two gets tossed into the fire but not too much, and so it simmers away. It is not for pancakes! It is useful for marinades and sauces for meat and chicken and salmon.<br /><br />BushladyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-28266724899006799792017-04-29T13:10:14.977-07:002017-04-29T13:10:14.977-07:00Thanks, Suzanne.
