Hope everyone had a happy Easter!  Evan’s sister and her husband came and joined us for the weekend.  We went to a pancake breakfast at a sugar shack on Saturday.  They were making maple syrup right on the premisis - it is maple sugar time in upstate NY - yum! On the way up were were going through some back roads and saw a Marten - which is like a mink and is actually realted.  Not very common to see one but we do see them from time to time.

We have a pair of hawks nesting in the woods next to our cabin and our cats Chewy and Meow Meow think it is great fun to watch them.  Good thing they are indoor cats as I am afriad the hawks would be very interested in them!

Evan built a Purple Martin house for me and with the help of his brother in law - put it up this weekend.  Just like in Witness.  I think it is a little early for them to start nesting but am anxious to see them the next time we are up.

Planning on doing a little hiking today - I think our dogs Frannie and Red would appreciate some exercise.  Hoping to see the happenings in the sky tonight - check out Skywatch - should be able to see space station going by.

Well, sunlight is wasting - talk to ya later.
