Rain coming tonight...maybe some snow even. I restocked the firewood and kindling containers on the porch- a trash can and 2 totes that I made lids for from ply covered w/vinyl banner/sign material- great stuff.

 
        I was inspired by Richard Proenneke(One Man's Wilderness-he used fresh blueberries and sugar, I think, to make a syrup) and made myself some syrup for french toast by putting a little crab apple juice in a pan and adding some molasses and honey. Dang if I shouldn't bottle it to sell...maybe add whiskey and call it cough syrup. It will certainly do until my maple tree matures.
