Sometimes I feel I might be chasing something that is not real. Living the dream , they say!!!
Nice material things are not living the dream.. Getting back to nature is what I consider living the dream.. Wish I had more time not tied to a paycheck to get out and teach my boys things they can take with them for life.. Don't get me wrong, I am very fortunate and we have nice things that are all payed for.. We don't live outside our means and I do take my boys with me every chance I get to the woods.. But sometimes we loose track of what is really important and get lazy... Pulling the oh we'll do it next year turns into, wow, where did time go?..
Now back to syrup, don't eat any of it.. The last batch I helped collect and make years ago I used to brine a turkey we smoked at deer camp.. My wife and boys on the other hand could eat pancakes and waffles every morning..
