Family pride: Maple-syrup-edition

Daughter two-of-four of the Canadian bunch is entering her Harrowsmith years.

Before the pandemic, her and her partner sold their Toronto-area house and resorted to rural Ontario where they have embraced the country life.

(Harrowsmith, the magazine, was heralded as a back-to-the-land and environmental issues platform.)

And now she and her family have made honey from maple trees on the property.

My daughter says it was a great experience and she got to spend lots of outdoor time with her two sons (who have fabulous hair).

I shared these pics with my honey-producing long-time farmer colleague,  and he wrote back, “This is sooo good, dp. You should be proud of this. Producing food. Right on! “

I am proud. Of all my five daughters.
