By the Dawn's Early Light
The porch floor is painted, the wall of the house under the porch roof is re-painted, and I'm thinking about re-painting the wall above the porch roof today if it's not too windy and cold, and if I get brave enough to put a ladder on top of the roof and stand on it.
Don't hold your breath, for I'm already getting squeamish, thinking about that southeast corner which has about an 18' dropoff. It will be a while before the entire porch project is done, for there are a couple other huge projects that need to be done in the meantime, before the ground freezes, like putting in foundation drains and moving close to 100 tons of dirt.

Maple Syrup
Friends of ours gave us this jar of beautiful maple syrup, which they had tapped and boiled down from their own trees. Several years ago, we did a little experiment with the kids, so that they could have the experience of making maple syrup, and so they could see just how much maple sap is needed. This jar of maple syrup represents lots of maple sap, patience, and... generosity!
