Maple Popcorn

Recipe:
Pop the corn and place in a brown grocery sack... about half a brown grocery bags worth.
Salt and shake in the bag.

In a heavy sauce pan mix:
1/3 c. maple syrup
2 tbs. water

bring to boil, syrup mixture needs to be at softball stage. I use a candy therm.
Poor over popcorn, and shake the bag, keep shaking... Are you still shaking? You can stop now!
Allow to cool and serve in a pretty bowl.

This is a crowd pleaser, and its low calorie.

A Walk in the Woods...

You never know what you will find on your morning walk. If you are quiet and follow the tracks... and hold absolutely still for what seems like hours. They will never know you are there, and they will go about their business as usual.

Textbook Storm In the making...

Littles is our resident meteorologist. She has wanted to be a meteorologist ever since I can remember. The other day she had her weather guide out and was showing me some diagrams of a super cell. The next day I was working in the backyard and spied a wonderful sight, I had to grab my camera, because Littles was away from home. Here are the captured images...

The diagram...

The real thing...

Although there was no wall cloud associated with this storm, it was amazing!


I only wish my camera could have zoomed in a little more...

On the needles...

Here we go again. I am attempting to make a baby sweater. I love, love, love knitting. I enjoy baby projects the most. I must have some sort of knitting going on, it brings me peace, and soothes away any stress. At this point in time, I have no little ones due, but who knows, my friends now have married children who may someday have need for a sweet baby sweater. I will need to make it in a different color. I don't think most enjoy the colors I like. This color is honey, it reminds me of fall leaves, pumpkin pie, and all things warm and wonderful about fall. I find Debbie Bliss to be an excellent place to start. I have enjoyed the many patterns I have made from her books. I finally purchased this one, before the library banned me from using their copy. I am having fun.
