The heat is on.....
The Lord is good; tell it wherever you go...The Lord is good; tell it so others will know... I go to my blog, so I'm telling it here!
We're in the midst of boiling sap, and today we drew off the first syrup...one half gallon and five quart containers. I took advantage of the minutes until the next drawing off to take a "necessary break" and get the labels at the house. One message (for Tom) and then the phone rang...it was the welder down behind the sawmill working on Tom's excavator..."Lonna - get down here! I have a grass fire!!!" It was not a false alarm. I ran to the sap house to alert Tom - he jumped in the big tractor, headed to the creek and got the yard-bucket full of water. That put it out! I followed down with a 5 gallon pail of syrupy water (from washing out the filters) and eft it. Tom got 2 more loads of water because Bob the Welder thought he'd come back after it rains...and Tom needs it done now. The ground looks like Noah lives around the corner!
The heat was on...
The Lord is good;tell it whever you go..
Yes He is...ALL the time!
Water in the tractor bucket was a good idea!
ReplyDeleteI remember when B and I were "experimenting" with gasoline and set the stream on fire.
I can't even imagine what I will do if my kids grow up to be half as "experimental" as I was.
