The Old-Fashioned Way

A New Way To Catch Maple Sap

We're used to seeing the galvanized pails in the woods when the sap's running. We're also used to seeing the plastic tubing running everywhere. This was a new twist. It appears that these light foil bags are the new wave in maple syrup technology.

Mayor McCheese

I'm not sure why Mayor McCheese is at the edge of a gravel pit, but he is in amazingly good shape for a 30-year old playground item.

Peace Pole in Braille

This peace pole is located on the town square of Westfield, New York. In addition to the standard four languages, this peace pole has a small tag with the peace prayer attached to the pole in braille.

Swim At Your Own Risk

I don't golf, but I would do this. It's sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe instead of carts, I could wear my snowshoes. ;-)

Snow Fence?

The Ferdl Aster Ski Shop is a very popular local ski supply store. If you stop by on a Friday evening or Saturday morning during the skiing season, it will be difficult to move for the crowd of avid skiers in this converted house. Our cross-country skis came from here. First cross-country ski chairs and now snow fences. Reduce... reuse... recycle.
