Counting Down to Surgery - 3

 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.

Counting Down to Surgery

 4 full days before surgery.

I'm getting very conscious of the things I'm not going to be able to do by myself with my right hand wrapped up.

Saturday we came home from PA to more snow.

We went to PA on Friday to gather with Dan's family to celebrate his brother Don on what would have been his 65th birthday.  Don succumbed to lung cancer in July last year. He never married and had no offspring. He's especially missed by the youngest of the four brothers, Darren.

My husband, Dan is in the middle, Dennis #2 on left , and Darren #4 on right.

I think the next one is a bit dated.

Thanks Marilyn for sharing these.

In the Round

Have you ever done a round puzzle?

 This was my first and quite a different sort of challenge.  Several very tiny pieces, other pieces in very strange shapes and the green most of which I did last was difficult.  I persevered and met the challenge.

Puzzling will continue until weather warms enough to get out and garden.  Oh, wait.  May be difficult to do one handed.  My surgery to fix right thumb and carpal tunnel is the 31st.  I'll wait and see.
