Snow in these parts? not so uncommon these days.


We had already decided not to do school last Monday, on account that Grandma and Grandpa were coming to visit, which was a good thing. I don't think we could have accomplished much else than playing.

Actually, after warming up a bit, we did have a little bit of learning. We attempted to make "Jack Wax". From my understanding, it was a winter treat from Colonial times of heated maple syrup poured over fresh snow. It is supposed to make a taffy like substance. Ours didn't work as prescribed, but it was yummy. We actually experimented with other flavors and decided that lemonade over ice made a special slushy that was delicious. I just love the love of learning.
