3 full days before surgery.
I picked up the meds I'll need after the surgery on Sunday after church. I didn't want to have to wait until after the surgery to get them. I'll just want to get home afterward.

Maple sugaring season is coming to an end. We stopped by Mac's Maple in Plainfield, NH to do a taste test. Yum! We tasted fresh maple syrup and some aged in bourbon barrels.
We could smell sugar in the air. That's steam coming from the sugar house.
Here's their large reverse osmosis machine that removes water from the sap before boiling thus speeding up the syrup production and reducing the amount of time and wood you need to make syrup.
As we were leaving more sap was arriving.
Take care and wishes for a good recovery.
ReplyDelete...some traditionalists aren't fans of reverse osmosis.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marcia, for sharing this post about your visit to Mac’s Maple in Plainfield, NH. My hometown is also in Plainfield, but in NJ😀 and there was definitely no maple sugar there. My brother has an upcoming birthday, so we may take a road trip to buy some maple syrup from Mac’s. Hope all goes well with the surgery this week.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adventure from a little tree sap! Good luck with your surgery! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteContinuing good wishes for your surgery. Can't help but notice the maple syrup is sugary...a few letters different. So sweetness to accompany you through the procedure. And maybe some pancakes turned by another hand for a while!
ReplyDeleteYes, as I understand it, the sap stops flowing once the nighttime temperatures don’t fall below freezing. I think it has been a good season here though.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes with the surgery!
ReplyDeleteWe bought maple syrup from a local Mennonite farmer yesterday, made in the old-fashioned way, just as we always have and I am sure that's what we continue to do forever!
