About Me
- Sunny
- I was born in my grandmother's old mill house in Cornwall, England and came to the USA with my parents in 1958. My Dad was in the RAF and as a child I lived in many different locations in England and even the Rock of Gibraltar.
Massachusetts has always been home in the US except for a brief period when I resided in Idaho, giving me a chance to explore the Great American West.
For nearly 30 years I lived on Cape Cod before my husband and I moved back to the mountains* of Massachusetts with our Goldendoodle Lucy, and our cats, Lilly and Molly. I am also the mother of a grown son.
*Some of you would call them hills but they're mountains to me!
THANKS SO MUCH-PLEASE ENJOY!

I'd love to try some of that. I think some people eat it on snow.
Now I have a strange craving for pancakes. :)
Mmm, that makes me think of pancakes!
I've seen a show that had draft horses hauling the syrup to the factory in the snow. It looks like very hard work.
Hi Sunny
Just catching up with your last few posts some lovely images as usual, the cows in the snow is a great shot very monochromatic and those sheep are really photogenic. Things are starting to warm up here a little although we are still getting overnight frosts. hoipe thing warm up for you soon.
This work is so interesting.
Great shot dear Sunny.
Here I'm so happy today with a beautiful Sun shining!
Hugs

I've seen pictures all my life I would like to check out this in real life one day.
Mmmmmmmmmm....maple syrup!
tink-tink-tink. such a beautiful music...the sound of sap dripping into a metal bucket. I'm going to miss sugaring entirely this year.
Ahhh...maple syrup!
I sure will be happy to see Spring!
I read that it's quite an art collecting maple sap and turning it into commercial syrup. Looking forward to seeing more pics on this process.
Oh cool! I can just hear the sap hitting the bottom of the bucket...
Great shot!
A very good sign of Spring !
I have several old sap buckets from Maine, I just love using them.
Great pictures !
YUM! Maple syrup! I had some for breakfast but i did not get it from a tree, mine was sitting on a shelf waiting for me.
Neat! I have never seen this before. I wonder what it tastes like right out of the tap.
Saps running, that means there will be lots of maple syrup.
Perhaps Spring will get here after all! Thanks for posting a hopeful sign.
My dad would tell of my grandfather, who I never knew, who would fire up the large kettles and cook the syrup in Iowa. I know the history is there in my family but no one is left to even ask questions. It is nice to see the trees will start coming back despite the snow on the ground. We are 37 degrees today and it is hardly melting.
Mmm Pancakes and Maple syrup. It's good to see a sign that spring is coming.
I've seen the process on TV but never in real life. It would be wonderful to see it in reality.
