Tired Teddy

Tired Teddy is my personal code for needing a break. "I'm a tired teddy bear." Life's schedule goes along swimmingly until that one more meeting, or event, or appointment, or whatever gets stacked on top of everything else and the loft goes out of my sails.

No sap yesterday. Sunday night into Monday morning, it was too warm. Then by one in the afternoon, everything froze solid. Maple sugarmaking, like life, requires balance. Warm days balanced by cold nights. Any other temperature mix and the sap remains in the tree. Warm days and warm nights results in not a drop. Though, cold days and cold nights spark hope for a warming trend.

The season is young. I have hope.
