Maple Syrup and Squirrel Hunting

Squirrel hunting in the snow, fun but they tend to stay on top of the snow while I sink in.  And a side note on a rumor that has been going around the dog park in Seattle before we left,….deer poop doesn't taste like cat poop.  Still checking on fox and moose droppings.

Maple syrup season in this part of the country.  People here put taps in the trees and get a liquid that ends up on pancakes.  A visit to a friend's house put this all in perspective:  40 gallons of sap makes one gallon of syrup.  For me, a tree a tree and just something to mark as my area.  

My people were amused by the sign on these shirts.  I know not why.  They didn't buy any.
