Here's a quick tying-up of loose ends on previous articles:

Sugaring off- We ended up with about 3 litres of syrup at 2:00 in the morning. The syrup is darker than last year and stronger tasting, but we're not sure what all the causes are.

Moving the chickens- Our hens adapted very well to their new environment, although whether their drop-off in egg production was due to the move or the cold or both, we'll never know. They quit laying almost completely for a couple of weeks, but since then have rebounded nicely to about 18 eggs a day, with at least one hen sitting on a nest of 14 eggs.

We're feeling the rush of spring work now that the snow is gone. Every day has little excitements, the smaller, the better! Let us know what your group will be the most interested to learn about, we'd love to hear from you.
