Feb. 14th

Happy Valentines Day! The day to show that special someone how much you care. Hearts and flowers flying out of the stores makes the merchants really happy. We still have maple candy hearts if you haven't got around to do your sweetheart shopping yet. You don't want to be in the dog house tonight, it's going to be real cold !! Today however the eves are dripping and the sun is out...keep that good vive going and tell someone how much they mean to you. Bring them up for a maple creemee and enjoy the day.

The time is near.

We are beginning to recieve phone calls about when we will start serving Sugar-On-Snow. We always start the first weekend in March. Like last year we will also have it on Fridays. So it will begin March 4th,5th,and 6th. Serving from noon to 4:00 each day. We will also have our chocolate creemees back that weekend for those of you that like the choco/maple combo or plain chocolate. So make your plans to come and enjoy one of the finest of spring time treats. Bring your out of state company up for a real special taste of Vermont.

Maple candy hearts

We are having a special on our pure maple candy hearts. Our regular 25 piece box is 10% off for Valentines Day. We also have a little smaller size maple heart in a 25 piece box which is only $9.95. You can't beat that. If you have lots of people you need to share the love with we have smaller packages of one, two, or four hearts. That way you can remember evey one that is special to you. Gifts certifcates always availale too. See you soon.

Make your plans

Just one week until Valentines Day. We have everything you need to make the day special. Try making breakfast in bed for that someone special with pure Morse Farm maple syrup and our own pancake mix. What a treat. We also have all kinds of candles, stuffed animals, and heart shaped maple candy by the box or by the piece. Many other gifts too, like books,warm sox,PJ's,jams and jellies, and a favorite Maple Kettle Corn. So don't do the same old box of chocolates, get something they won't forget once the chocolates are gone. Stop by and take a look around.

Tap-Tap-Tap

Yesterdays bright sunny day brought out the men of Morse Farm to start the tapping for sugaring season. It's always a good sign of sweeter things to come. Tapping usually happens in February to get a jump start on Mother Nature because you never know when the weather will be warm enough for the sap to run or we get another two foot snow storm. Either way repairing the lines and tapping takes a lot of time. Tom, Doug, and Burr get the snowshoes on and head for the sugarbush. This is just the beginning of many folks asking if we are all tapped yet and when do you think it will start? Looking forward to seeing you thru this sweet season.

Wow

Now that was a snow storm! We plowed our driveway three times yesterday- but never saw a town truck. Of course after the second plowing we couldn't see down our driveway either let alone the road. By the time I'd get the steps, deck and stairs, and in front of the barn doors shoveled out the first place I did needed shoveling again. A loosing battle. I think every school in Vt. was closed and many in N.H. also.
Barb said that UPS called and said they were closed. She said that both Malls in Burlington were also closed along with Norhfield Savings Bank. WOW, glad to see the sunshine today, time to dig out. We are open and the skiiers are in heaven, stop up.

Holiday

I don't think Ground Hogs Day is really a holiday. I know in Pa. it's a big deal and if they aren't getting the storm we are supposed to get tomorrow he just might see his shadow if the sun is out. But here in Vermont we probably won't even be able to see outside let alone a ground hog. By the way we call them woodchucks here ( close relations ). So it really doesn't matter whether he sees his shadow or not around here, we will still have six or more weeks of winter. Holiday, I don't think so. HAPPY WOODCHUCK DAY.
