Illegal Dumping In Chemung County: It's Got To Stop
Hal commented on Chris Sherwood's blog entry in View From The Hills
I just took a recliner to the dump a couple weeks ago , it was $20.00 to dispose of it . C’mon a lousy 20 dollar bill isn’t going to break anyone to do the right thing … -
Thank You Linda .

Will Governor Hochul Turn Her Back On Farmers?
Hal commented on Senator Tom O'Mara's blog entry in From Albany
She certainly isn’t backing the “ family farm” in this ! -
That Stew chicken looks pretty good ! I like jerked chicken but it doesn’t like me so that would be my first try !

Thank you Linda for your poem and sharing yours and Eds situation ! I also believe that we are sometimes handed more than we can bear in this life , as with watching our life mates struggle through pain and illness and in some cases losing the battle . Ann tells me that God never gives us more than we can handle and I know in my heart what she says is true ! But I still wish that I had that “ magic pill “ to take away her pain , Eds pain and the pain of MsKreeds loss ! But then I read your words and a message comes through them to me . Put it all in Gods hands because inevitably thats were “ It “ all goes ! But then again He gave us each other to reach out and hold onto as well , maybe that is the magic pill . Again Linda , Thank you . I believe a lot of us needed those words right now .

The Sap’s Running! Making Maple Syrup - PART II
Hal commented on Linda Roorda's blog entry in Homespun Ancestors
Thanks Linda ! Our family in Montrose PA had a “ sugar bush “ on the family farm . Good memories are brought to mind this time of year of the sap house and the hours spent there as a young boy . The Great uncles and grandfather feeding wood into the evaporator all night and day , the joking and the sipping of coffee ( they got the added bourbon ) and hot chocolate in the big overstuffed chairs where I would doze off for a bit between taking my turn bringing in the wood for the fire . If we were lucky we would have snow so us kids could make a snowball and the uncles would pour the skimmings on the snowballs for us as a treat . The sap house and farm are still there and the cousins still make syrup , all though much smaller amounts still just as good tasting when i can get some . Sorry to go on about it but this is one of those things that spark memories and I can still remember the smell of wood fire , boiling sap , cheap cigars and coffee with a hint of bourbon ! Thanks again ! -
Haven’t had that in quite awhile . Still looks as good as it used to be !
