Hay Day at a Field Day!

It's the day after!  Yesterday, September 29, 2012 we were invited guests, and vendors to sell our socks and educate the Maple Sugar, and Woodlot population that attended a Field Day in honour of a friend who won Woodlot Owner of the Year!  He and his wife were presented the award after lunch.  Congratulations Pat and Janet!  It is also the day after, of the special re-launching of the BLUENOSE II!

It was a getting Back to Basis kind of day, in the woods, ship building and sock making in Nova Scotia yesterday.  Glad to have been part of two of them!

We also did a bit of walk through the woods, took a wagon ride to the Maple Sugar Shack and of course bought some Maple Syrup to use on our homemade waffles that we have so enjoyed lately.  The day certainly brought me back to my country roots of being a Farmers Daughter!  Once a farmer's daughter, always a Farmer's Daughter even if I have had city lived stints in my life. 

It was great to have our own sign and I was excited that we got to keep it also!

Getting set up almost ready to begin....I had to get a few photos first!

The SHACK, not sure if it was an ole Sugar Shack or saw-mill or both, but we were glad to be out of the rain for the day!

Here we go.....these kinds of events are always so exciting!  I love them!

The fresh smell of pine, and the fresh smell of rain kept us company all throughout the day!
