I haven’t been around the blogosphere for a while. I think I’ll have to stop using twitter as a blog post substitution. So, it looks like it’s time for an update once again and as always a couple of photos to go along with it.

We got home last might from our latest visit to the town of Queensborough. While we were there, we visited ‘Grandma Madoc’ in Madoc and ‘Grandma Farm’ on the farm.

The food on the farm is always delicious. The meats are fresh and for the rest of my life, store bought bacon just wont taste as good farm bacon cooked up in real maple syrup.

All of these photos are from Charlie & Bonnie’s Maple bush at ‘Spring Creek Maple’. They have a very interesting operation running. Charlie manages to encompass both a low-tech life with some very high tech tools. One visit he was showing me his old fashion sugar bush, with Maple trees tapped by hand and a sap boiling stove hand built by the Mennonites. The next visit he spent hours explaining solar battery storage, electrical current conversion and showing off his power generating wind mills and the solar grid that his house is hooked up to.
