My name is Judy and I'm the owner of this blog.
Thank You for visiting.
I'm a...Wife...Mom of 11...Grandma to many...Homemaker and Blogger...living in a log cabin here at Gentle Hearth Farm.
I'm originally from Northeast Illinois, and my husband & I now live on 20 acres in Southwest Wisconsin up on a ridge in the Ocooch Mountains, 10 miles from the nearest town. My husband and I are empty nesters trying to figure out life after kids.
I blog, quilt, knit, sew, bake/cook and take pictures of just about anything.
There is so much that I want to do, but there is just not enough time in the day to do everything, so I have to pick and choose, and I try to live each day in the present, life is so much nicer if you do.
up go the buckets!

Love the picture... I was just thinking of you this am...and wondering if the sap had started to flow?..(Is that what it does:)

Well, as you know, I love this picture! So crisp, so clear and it reminds me of being in the Sugar Woods.

Vee sent me here to read your post Judy after I asked about sap collecting!
A beautiful photo and words.
Thank you!
Nice to meet you and wishing you a very happy week.
Shane ♥

Sorry, me again Judy!
I meant to tell you the reason I'm so ignorant about sap collecting is because I am a New Zealander and we don't have this type of maple tree here!
I'm joining your blog as we have the same interests, so see you again soon!
